The latest 200+ Bass TonePack zip download was designed to run on FM9 firmware 4.01, FM3 firmware 6.02, or Axe-Fx III firmware 22.

As of December 2023, those versions of the TonePack run fine on higher numbered firmware versions.

The AX8 TonePack version only comes in Quantum firmware 10.01 versions, because there is no Fractal ARES firmware version made for the AX8. The Axe-Fx Mark II/Original and XL/XL+ TonePack versions were made with ARES 2.0 firmware.

You will also see prior, older firmware TonePack versions available in your “Download” account as well. Older firmware TonePack versions are kept available for those who prefer prior firmwares or tour with older presets and have not updated firmware.

You may need to scroll down in the Downloads area to identify the very LATEST dated download zip file in your “My Downloads” section of your account by date.

Make sure you choose and use the right download (matching firmware version) for your Fractal hardware’s current firmware; otherwise, the preset may not sound as intended and designed, or it may appear empty!
