10 LAYOUTS & SWITCHES
FACTORY DEFAULT LAYOUTS
Factory default settings for the FM3 include various pre-dened layouts: one for selecting presets, one for
changing scenes, one for the looper, and so on. These are illustrated on the following page.
The Factory default layouts are designed to be very simple. The idea was that they should require almost no
explanation, so someone using the FM3 for the rst time could easily understand its capabilities. In fact there is
no such thing as an ideal layout—no “one-size-ts-all” solution. Those who desire to make changes will nd it is
very easy to change any switch on any layout to perform any function. See the new Footswitch Functions Guide
for a complete reference covering all available functions.
RESETTING THE FACTORY LAYOUTS
The FM3 includes a utility to reset the FM3 Factory Layouts. You can do this any time you want to erase any and
all changes you’ve made to the layouts, whether because you get stuck or simply want a fresh start. To do this:
Open SETUP: FC Controllers/Onboard Switches
Page to the RESET page
Select the desired option (future rmware versions may allow more than one
choice) and press ENTER to Load FM3 Factory Default Layouts.
Press ENTER again to conrm.
Press HOME to exit.
WARNING! When you perform Reset System Parameters under SETUP: Utilities, this clears all of
the layouts too. See p. 99 for more on this.
