3 USB
With a USB connection to a computer, the FM3 provides 4×4 audio interface capabilities, including computer
audio playback, recording, and re-amping in your DAW or other audio applications. Two separate USB-Serial/Audio
Drivers are required for Windows operating systems. No driver is required for Mac operating systems.
The FM3 is NOT a USB MIDI Device. It uses “COMM over USB” channels for Fractal-Bot and FM3-Edit, but will not
appear as a MIDI device in a DAW or other MIDI program.
WINDOWS MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Two separate USB-Serial/Audio Drivers are required for Windows operating systems.
OS: Windows 7 SP1 or newer (all versions compatible with x86 or x64).
CPU: Intel Core 2 @1.6 GHz or better, or AMD equivalent.

The Windows drivers can be downloaded at http://www.fractalaudio.com/support

USB: USB 2.0 support required.

the port on your Mac rst, allow it several seconds to “wake up” and then connect a USB cable and FM3
into the adapter.
