Fractal Audio releases VP4 firmware v4.04

September 2, 2026 · 1 sources

Fractal Audio released firmware version 4.04 for the VP4 on September 2, 2026, according to the downloads page for the unit. The firmware is offered as a zip archive of 1.4 MB.

The maker states that the update adds new features and is recommended for all VP4 owners, but the page does not list the individual features or changes included in the release.

The same page carries other VP4 files. The owner's manual is listed as version 1.x, dated October 10, 2024, alongside a Quickstart Guide and a 4CM Onesheet. Factory presets, dated April 10, 2025, are described as being for VP4 firmware version 2.00 or newer; the maker notes that installing them will overwrite all existing presets on the unit and advises backing up any presets to keep.

A Windows USB driver installer is also posted. The stated minimum requirement is Windows 11 or newer (x86, x64, or ARM). The maker notes that the VP4 and the AM4 use a shared driver, so an AM4 driver installation does not need to be repeated for the VP4, and that older systems may work but are outside the stated requirements and are not supported.

On the AM4 downloads page, Fractal Audio lists AM4 firmware v2.02 with the same September 2, 2026 date. That page states that all AM4 DynaCabs come preinstalled with version 1.09, which is also available as a separate download.
