13 SETUP MENU
THE MIDI/REMOTE MENU
The MIDI/Remote menu contains global MIDI-related settings, and allows you to make assignments for Global
Controller functions including Block Bypass, Block Channel, the Looper, External Controllers, and more.

Reminder: You do not need to store settings in the SETUP menu. EXIT twice when nished.
LEARN MODE
The MIDI Remote menu features a hidden Learn Mode function. Rather than using the knobs to assign a pedal, switch,
or MIDI CC, you can use Learn Mode. This is quick and also potentially saves you from needing to know which MIDI CC
is assigned to a button or pedal on a remote device. Here's how it works:
Navigate to the entry you want to assign: for example, "External Control 1" or "Tempo Tap".
1. Press ENTER to activate Learn Mode.
2. Move the remote pedal, knob, switch, etc. so Learn Mode can detect its activity.
3. The controller will be assigned automatically to your function.
If not, try again, troubleshooting the remote device as necesary, or press Exit to cancel.

PARAMETER Description
MIDI Channel
1–16, OMNI
Sets the channel on which the FM3 will receive MIDI messages.
“OMNI” causes the unit to respond to incoming messages on any channel.
MIDI Thru
Off, On
This enables or disables MIDI thru, which causes messages received at the
5-pin MIDI In port to be merged with any internally generated MIDI data at the
MIDI out/Thru port.
Display Offset
0, 1
(Also appears in the Global menu) Causes presets numbers to begin at 001
instead of 000. This only offsets the display, meaning that it does not change
which preset is actually loaded by a given footswitch or MIDI message.
Scene Revert
ON/OFF
Selects between two different ways for scenes to work when you change them
via a Footswitch or MIDI:
“OFF” (Default): Scene edits are RETAINED across Scene changes as long as
you do not change PRESETS. So if you tweak Scene 1, switch to Scene 2, then
switch back to Scene 1, your tweaks will still be intact.
“ON”: Scene edits are LOST if you change the Scene without saving. So if you
tweak Scene 1, switch to Scene 2, then back to Scene 1, Scene 1 will have
reverted to its previously saved state. This makes Scene changes feel more like
traditional preset changes.

Effect Bypass Mode
VALUE/TOGGLE
This setting determines how MIDI messages set the Bypass State of a block.
When set to “Value” the bypass state is controlled by the CC value (0–63=OFF,
64–127=ON). When set to “Toggle” the bypass state toggles whenever the CC
message is received, regardless of the value (0–127).
Send Realtime Sysex Causes the FM3 to transmit MIDI messages for Tap Tempo and Tuner so a 3rd
party MIDI controller can display this information.
