GLOBAL VOLUME SETUP
The FM3 allows global remote control of the volume at any input or output via a pedal or MIDI CC of your choice.
To set up a pedal for global volume, follow the instructions below. Be careful that you don’t accidentally assign
the same pedal to both Volume and an External Controller as described above!
First you’ll need to decide which global volume option you prefer:
Input volume affects gain/distortion and the behavior of level-dependent blocks like the compressor or gate.
Output volume does not affect gain or level-dependent blocks, but
scales everything you hear including effect tails.
To set Global Volume:
1. From the Home page, open SETUP: MIDI/Remote: Other.
2. NAV to the entry for whichever volume you want to control: Input 1 or 2, or Output 1 or 2.
3. Turn the A or VALUE knob to assign a controller to your selected entry.
Select “PEDAL 1 (EXP/SW TIP)” for the onboard Pedal jack (or #2 if you are using that one)
4. Test and EXIT when nished.
Learn more about the MIDI/Remote menu options on p. 95.
GLOBAL EXPRESSION SETUP
FM3 Pedal Jack 1 can be assigned as the “External 1 Controller” for use with factory presets as a Wah.
Follow the instructions below.
1. From the Home page, open SETUP: MIDI/Remote: External.
2. NAV down to External Control 1.
3. Turn the A or VALUE knob to select PEDAL 1 (EXP/SW TIP)
4. Press EXIT when nished.
You can test the pedal using Factory presets in the range 000–064.
External 1 can also easily be assigned as Volume, Whammy, or almost anything else on a per-preset basis.
Learn more about assigning pedals and switches to sound parameters in Section 9: Modiers.
