Anyone familiar with the real Soldano(s) what's your take on the remasters in this release?

I am sure 2112 will be along shortly with the release vids

I notice if you turn the noise gate off on any IN block, you can drop 3 to 4% CPU per block!

My jazz preset which has a IN 1, IN 2 and IN 3 is hovering around 76% but if i turn all three noise gates off it drops down to around 66%

Just a little tip for anyone wanting to save some CPU that may not need that noise gate!

Would be nice if Fractal had a view to show what is using the CPU the most. Kind of like computer operating systems have a Task Manager or Activity Monitor for this.

Is the soft reset available in the editor or only on the Unit I cant see it in the editor and yes its the latest version of the editor

Click your amp and then click the drop down by CHANNEL and option is there in editor. Also available on hardware under knob E.

Axe-Fx III Firmware 28.06 Release

I'm not seeing it either. A little more clarity other than "read the release notes" would be nice. Apologies for the short answer, I'm at work and haven't actually done any of this. Thankfully other folks chimed in.

Even removing unused shunts drops the cpu usage.

Woot… FM3T locked and loaded with new FW and Cabs for the weekend!

On call in case someone needs a RJ45 so plenty of playtime.

I like the way Helix handles it. If there isn’t enough CPU for specific block, it gets greyed out. Simple and effective without adding additional bloat like an activity monitor.

The QC has an option to show how much CPU takes up on the block itself which is nice

An activity monitor would require yet another page to tab over to. Where would you put it? In the setup menu? To the right of the Performance Pages? So you’d have to exit out of the block or grid in order to view it and then go back into a block or grid to test to see if the CPU can handle another block?

I guess you could have it open exclusively in the editor like the Preset Leveling Tool.

Then it begs the question, how much CPU would it take to run an Activity Monitor? The FM3 can’t run an RTA Block. Could it run a realtime Activity Monitor?

I’d just make it an optional view in the editor. For when folks hit a wall and want to investigate to make hard choices. No biggie for me really. My presets aren’t kitchen sink style but pretty sparse and focused… at least I think so!

I either use delay or reverb but rarely both. I always have the big gun in reserve if the FM3 runs out of steam. But I think it does great!

Maybe my mind will change after using the new FW.

Or if you could hover over a block in the editor and get its CPU usage… Brilliant!
