FM3 Firmware Release Notes
VERSION 9.01
October 11, 2024
IMPORTANT: If updating from a firmware version prior to 9.0 you will need to upgrade to the current Dyna-Cab models which requires you to install two separate files:
1) the main firmware, and 2) a separate Dyna-Cab file. To install both files using automatic download, please use the version of Fractal-Bot that is built into the latest release of FM3-Edit.

NOTE: FM3 Firmware 9.x and subsequent versions are a different size compared to 8.x and earlier versions.
Should you ever need to downgrade from 9.x or newer to 8.x or older, a special process is required. See this article:

NEW FEATURES & UPDATES
EFFECT BLOCK UPDATES
o Filter Block Updates
Added a Touch Wah type to the Filter block. This is similar to the Envelope Filter but uses a different type of
detector and voltage-to-frequency converter. This type can be used to create interesting touch-sensitive filter
sounds. It can also be used to replicate the Korg A3 Touch Wah sound as follows:
- Set Mode to MIX
- Set Start Freq to maximum. Set Stop Frequency to minimum.
- Start with a fairly high Attack Time, around 500ms.
- Set Release Time to around 200ms.
- Adjust Sensitivity to taste.
Added the Auto-Wah type to the Filter block. This is based on the same "circuit" as the Envelope Filter but
replaces the detector with an LFO.
Added LFO Tempo control to the Filter block.
o Improved the Auto-Swell type in Volume block. Added Release time and Hysteresis controls to allow fine-tuning to playing style. Hysteresis controls how much extra the signal must fall below the threshold before the detector releases.
o Changed the Envelope Follower in the Megatap, Multitap, and Plex blocks to use the same algorithm as the improved Auto-Swell algorithm in the Volume block. The purpose of the Envelope Follower is to generate volume swells.
o Added Crossfade Time control to the Crystal Echoes type in Pitch Block.
o Improved pitch shifting.
o New Sample/Hold Delay Plex Delay type added.
OTHER UPDATES
o Added a Send MIDI Clock option.
o Added a Receive MIDI Clock option. This can be configured to receive MIDI beat clock messages or ignore them.
o Added activity sensing to internal pedals, FC pedals and external controllers. This stops Auto-Engage from activating an effect if the pedal/controller is not connected. This prevents, for example, a Wah being engaged if Auto-Engage is on but no pedal is connected (i.e., you left your expression pedal at home).
o Improved tuner. The new algorithm is faster and more accurate.
o Added selectable Tuner color theme.
o Added date and time to the version information returned to FM3-Edit. This obviates the need to manually select "Refresh After New Firmware" if updating from beta releases (requires updated FM3-Edit).
o Now when loading a preset that was created using a previous firmware version the preset number will be shown in inverted text on the large font home GUI. This indicates that the preset needs to be saved under the current firmware to update it for compatibility with "Gapless Changes – ALL". Presets created and saved with the currently running firmware also load faster in general.
FIXES
o Fixed LFO Phase not working for Vibe modes in the Phaser block.
o Corrected the VU meter display operation for Out2 on the routing grid view, zoom mode
