FRACTAL-BOT & FM3-EDIT
In addition to providing audio capabilities, USB allows you to use our
companion software applications Fractal-Bot and FM3-Edit.
Fractal-Bot is a small, simple program used to update the FM3 when new
rmware is released. It includes tools to backup or restore presets and other
custom settings and can be used to install downloaded presets or cabs.
FM3-Edit is a full-featured software editor/librarian for the FM3. If you are
comfortable with audio software or plug-ins, you will probably enjoy using
this program. FM3-Edit offers great ease of use and convenience, plus some “power-user” routines that aren’t
possible on the unit itself (e.g. Performance Page editor, Block Library, Scene Swap). It also provides great tools
for managing presets and banks, installing Cab Packs, and more.
You can download FM3-Edit for Mac or Windows at https://www.fractalaudio.com/fm3-edit
USB AUDIO
USB provides the FM3 with a host of great audio features. With 4×4 channels, you can play backing tracks, record
processed audio or DI signals, re-amp in real-time, and more.
See Section 3: USB for full details on the USB capabilities of the FM3.
