Firmware & Presets

Firmware v10.00

Compatible with FM3 Original and FM3 Turbo
Zip Archive — May 30, 2025

An updated version of FM3-Edit is required for use with this release.

Make Backups 
As always, use Fractal-Bot in FM3-Edit to back up your System and Presets prior to upgrading.

A Dyna-Cab update is required if updating from an FM3 firmware version prior to 9.00 Beta 1
The required Dyna-Cab file is included in the 'zip' file for this release.
If you are upgrading from a version older than 9.00 Beta 1, please follow the instructions in the Firmware Update guide PDF that is included to install the firmware and Dyna-Cabs. If you are updating from 9.00 beta 1 or higher, Dyna-Cabs do not need to be reinstalled.

Preset CPU and Factory Presets
This firmware version includes major improvements to sound quality and performance. As a result, some presets now require more CPU. Older Factory Presets may exceed 80% CPU usage, especially on the standard (non-Turbo) FM3. To address this, new Factory Presets have been created for firmware 10.0+. These are not installed automatically and must be downloaded separately.
