10 LAYOUTS & SWITCHES
STARTUP LAYOUTS
The FM3 itself and each connected FC Controller have their own default layout which load automatically when you
power on. You can change the default layout as follows.
SET DEFAULT LAYOUTS:
On the FM3, open the “Devices” page of the FC Controllers/Onboard Switches menu under SETUP.
Use the C knob or NAV buttons and VALUE wheel to set the desired Default Layout.
You can also manually change the Current Layout and Current View (p. 74)
for both the FM3 itself and any connected FC controllers.
The Devices page also allows you to set up Mirroring the FM3 to an FC controller.
See the FC Controller Owner’s Manual for more on mirroring.
BACKING UP LAYOUTS
FM3 layouts are included in any backup of the unit’s system (p. 100),
but you can also back up or restore these individually or all at once
using FM3-Edit (p. 13). Find these options in the Edit dropdown of
the Layouts section of the “FC Controllers” area. (shown at right).
NAMING LAYOUTS
Layout Names appear in the Master Layout Menu and can also appear on dedicated Layout footswitches.
Changing the name of any layout is simple with the same interface used to name presets and scenes.
