Fractal Audio's amp modeling reaches Cygnus X-3
August 1, 2024 · 1 sources
Fractal Audio Systems said in August 2024 that its amp modeling has progressed to Cygnus X-3, and that its effects have nearly doubled through upgrades that include a massive expansion of many of the core blocks present at the launch of the Axe-Fx III1. The company also said the FM9 and FM3 are kept in sync with its flagship processor1.
The entry appears in the timeline on the company's About Us page, dated Aug-2024 and introduced with the line "Updates never sleep!"1. The page gives no firmware version number, release date within the month, or list of the specific blocks that were expanded1.
"Fractal Audio's amp modeling has progressed to Cygnus X-3. Meanwhile, its effects have nearly doubled with upgrades including massive expansion of many of the core "blocks" that were present at the launch of the Axe-Fx III."
Cygnus is not new to the line. The same timeline records CYGNUS, described as a new amp modeling technology using SpectrumTrack technology for what the company called more accurate amp voicing, as released for the Axe-Fx III in April 2021 and for the FM3 in June 20211. The August 2024 entry does not say what changed between that version and Cygnus X-31.
The page lists no price or availability details for the Cygnus X-3 modeling or the effects expansion1.
