5 PRESETS
OVERVIEW
The FM3 contains 512 preset memory locations. Each preset is like
a full rig with its own amp, cab, effects, and more.
Every memory location, including the Factory Presets, can be changed or completely overwritten.
If you want to restore the factory presets (or install the newer versions we sometimes release), you
can download these from https://www.fractalaudio.com and re-install them using Fractal-Bot.
Every preset has its own name that you can change as you store it.
Presets are built on a “Grid” by inserting, connecting, and dialing in “Blocks.”
Every preset contains eight “Scenes”, each with its own name.
Blocks contain “Channels.” See “Intro to Scenes and Channels” on p. 15.
Compared to the Axe-Fx III, the FM3 will have smaller presets, but a single preset
can still potentially cover an entire song, or even an entire gig.
Please review “Intro to the Layout Grid” on p. 14 before reading this section.
SELECTING PRESETS
Different areas of the FM3 provide different ways to select (or “load”) presets:
On the Home page – Use the NAV LEFT and NAV RIGHT buttons or turn the VALUE knob.
On the “PRESETS” directory page of the HOME menu – Use the NAV buttons to
select a preset and press ENTER. Presets in the directory are sorted in numerical
order. To re-sort alphabetically, press the SORT A–Z button (Push-knob E).
Foot Switches – FM3 footswitches have a range of “preset select” options.
MIDI – MIDI Bank and Program Change messages may be used to select presets using the
industry-standard “Controller 0 + PC” method. See “MIDI Reference Tables” on p. 115. MIDI
Custom PC Mapping is also supported, see “Program Change Mapping” on p. 53.
