SELECTING SCENES
Different areas of the FM3 provide different ways to select a Scene.
On the Home page – Use the NAV UP/DOWN buttons or turn Push-knob A. The current scene is highlighted.
On the GRID – Turn the Scene knob (Push-knob A). The current scene is shown above the knob.
While EDITING a BLOCK – Press the MORE button (Push-knob E) and then use the SCENE –/+ buttons
(Push-knobs A & B). The current scene is shown near the top center of every page in the Edit menu.
Foot Control – The onboard switches of the FM3, or those on a connected
FC Controller offer a range of dedicated “Scene” options.
MIDI – MIDI can be used to change the scene. See “Selecting Scenes & Channels Remotely” on p. 52.
THE DEFAULT SCENE
When a new preset is loaded, it automatically starts on whichever Scene was selected when the preset was last
saved. So, to set the default scene for any preset, simply select the desired Scene and then save the preset.
SETTING UP SCENES
Whenever you create a preset, you are already using at least one Scene (usually scene 1). Programming additional
scenes is easy. Here are step-by-step instructions for setting up scenes:
TO SET UP A NEW SCENE OR EDIT AN EXISTING ONE…
1. Load the desired preset and select the desired Scene.
2. Bypass or engage each block as desired.
On the Layout (grid) or while editing any block, use the BYPASS button (Push-knob B).
Or use any assigned footswitch or remote controller to bypass/engage the block.
3. Set the Channel for each block as described on the previous page.
4. Test and save your preset. On the STORE page, NAV to any new scenes and name them (see p. 47).
Always test ALL scenes in your preset—even those you think you might not use.
Ensure that there are no unpleasant volume jumps or other surprises in case of accidental mis-steps later.
TO COPY ONE SCENE TO ANOTHER…
The Tools page of the Layout menu contains a way to copy one scene to another (not including the scene name).
This works only within a single preset.
1. Navigate to the Tools page of the Layout menu (grid).
2. Turn the VALUE wheel until “COPY SCENE” is shown on the display.
3. Use the D knob to select the scene you want to copy from. Scene numbers are shown above the knob.
4. Use the E knob to select the location you want to copy to. You can also choose to copy one scene to “ALL”.
5. Press ENTER or the on-screen EXECUTE button (Push-knob C) and the copy operation is completed.
6. Test your preset and remember to STORE to make the changes permanent.
Not even FM3-Edit can copy a Scene from one preset to another. This is because there is no way
to ensure that the scene would work at all in its new home. You can copy certain parts of the
sound of a given scene by copying blocks or channels, but this can be tricky.
