I remember seeing the comment on Facebook as well, but here we are in mid-October. The FI is an amazing pedal and I know Andras is a one man engineering team, but at this point, I've let go of the hope that we'll see an update this year. It'll come out when it comes out I guess. Obviously October's not done yet though, I'd love to be proven wrong of course.

I still stand by my statement, sir. We've been hearing "almost there" for quite a while now.
Like I said, prove me wrong.

As an owner of a custom bass and one on order I can say that good things come to those who are patient.
Don't I know it. I'm the proud owner of several customs myself, so I get it. I'm sure the Impact 3.0 will be fantastic!

I waited about 6 months for the most recent updated anyway...I usually wait a bit and see how the early adopters fare with something before making the move no matter what.

Do you open your presents before Christmas?
I'm about to, quick backup first though. Better safe than sorry
Looks like I'm getting the rest of the week off
Well, I'm certainly glad to be proven wrong!

A quick peep at the manual shows that it's already more usable. Good job. : )

Dear friends,
No more “it is almost there!”, rather “it is here, really!!!”.
We have put an enormous work behind us. It was mentioned here on the forum that “Andras is a one man engineering team”. While this was the case in the beginning, the Future Impact v3 as released today is a product well beyond what any single individual could have accomplished. Over the last few months an extremely talented international team helped me, and the FI v3 is the result of our joint effort.
Let us all recognize and applaud the members of the team:
- Peter Kenney (UK): Product design, writing the User Guide , editor testing, sound design.
- Gabor Lippenyi (Hungary): Product design, sound design, studio recordings, creating the video demo.
- Zsolt Rammer (Hungary): PC and MAC Editor coding, graphics, sound design.
- Gabor Gerenyi (Hungary): Product design, sound design, marketing.
- Simon Iten (Switzerland): Product design from the very beginning, sound design.
- Gergely Barcza (Israel): Design concept for EWI mode, EWI mode sound design, and demo recording.
- Geza Barcsik (Hungary): main graphics designer.
You can find all product details at http://pandamidi.com. Let me cite here just a few of the most important features:
- modular type synthesis with flexi controllers
- true multi effects processing
- bass, guitar and wind instrument modes
- ADSR envelopes
- VCO3 and 4 acts as an extra LFO
- redesigned look
- new lower price
- lifetime warranty
- and as a last days result, integrated sound program database in the editor!
It is important to note, that the electronics of the FI v3 is identical with the FI I., so your current devices can be software-upgraded to be functionally identical with FI v3. Watch the video demo showing all the 99 amazing new sounds, cca. 10 seconds from each. Also you will find on our web page the FI 3.00 software upgrade with the bank of the new sounds and all documentation, naturally ALL FREE OF CHARGE!
I signed the bottom plate of the first 20 FI v3. Hurry if you want to get one of them!
Finally, I would like to thank everyone on this forum for your help, comments, critiques and suggestions during the development. These all contributed to giving you a better product. Enjoy!

Right. Time to go and eat and walk home for me!
This looks great! I'm really interested to hear from others about the improved tracking/features as I am tempted to buy a FI again.

I'm obviously slightly biased but the tracking really is better. Follow the links and have a listen to the soundclips and read the manual - the new features are astounding!
