FracTool 2.48 is available :
- It now supports Firmware files, allowing the firmware flash ! Just drop the firmware zip file and it will update ! (firmware syx files are also supported)
- Introduces an attempt to make preset exchange easier for everyone : FracBundles !
While FAS bundles integrate cabs IRs in the preset are a great way to share a fully working preset, it can be problematic with copyrighted IRs.
So that's where FracBundles proprietary fileformat comes in !
It doesn't embed the IRs used in the preset but only their names.
When importing the FracBundle preset with FracTool, and if you already own the necessary IRs on your machine, the cabs blocks will be set pointing to the correct user slots !
Of course, for now this proprietary fileformat is only supported by FracTool (and FracPad) and the FracBundle has to be exported by FracTool (context menu on the device icon, get current preset).
Let's now hope FractalAudio will include a similar feature in future AxeEdit/AX8Edit versions
