THE LAYOUT GRID
The grid is a 12×4 framework for building presets. Think of grid rectangles as slots into which blocks are inserted
and connected together to create a signal processing path. Each grid space and every cable is stereo (though not
all blocks are). You don't need separate left and right paths!
Access the grid from the Home page by pressing the ENTER button or the LAYOUT Push-knob.
In the default view, the FM3 display shows only a 6×4 section of the 12×4 grid. Navigate to off-screen areas using
the E knobs, or the NAV buttons. A bottom scrollbar indicates where you are in the overall left-to-right layout. To
show the entire grid at once, zoom out with the ZOOM button (Push-knob A).
WORKING WITH BLOCKS
As explained in “Intro to the Layout Grid” on p. 14, FM3 presets are using blocks pulled from a large inventory
of amps, cabs, stompboxes, studio effects, mixers, and more. To navigate around the grid you must move the
cursor — a yellow rectangle controlled by the NAV buttons or the D or E knobs.
TO INSERT A BLOCK…
NAV to the desired grid location.
Turn the VALUE wheel to step through the list of blocks.
Press ENTER to conrm or EXIT to cancel changes.
As you insert blocks, they are removed from the list, but every preset has the entire inventory to begin with.
TO CHANGE OR REMOVE AN EXISTING BLOCK…
To CHANGE a block, select it and turn VALUE to the desired type.
To REMOVE a block, select it and turn VALUE until “None” is displayed.
Press ENTER to conrm or EXIT to cancel changes.
The grid normally shows four rows and six columns.
You can scroll left or right with navigation controls.
Zoom out to show the entire grid at once.
This also reveals VU meters for leveling scenes and presets.

TIP: A shortcut makes it easy to remove an existing block or convert it to a shunt. Select
the block and press the DELETE button (Push-knob C). A deleted block is replaced by a
shunt. Delete a shunt to leave an empty space.
