10 LAYOUTS & SWITCHES
PER-PRESET SWITCHES
The current lineup of Fractal Audio products support two ways of doing Per-Preset footswitches.
Placeholder switches, like those in FM3 factory layout 6, look through the current preset and automatically place
its custom switch denitions on the floor. For example, the rst switch in Layout 6 will always show the rst Per-
Preset switch denition (“PP#1”) from the current preset.
Overrides happen when a preset takes over one of the switches on a connected controller, effectively clobbering
whatever global denition you have given a switch and instead showing the override instead. For example, a given
preset may be set to force Layout 1, Switch 1 to show “Tap Tempo” instead of its normal function.

Here is a quick introduction covering how to create the denitions used with Per-Preset switches.
CREATING PER-PRESET SWITCH DEFINITIONS
1. Load the desired preset and navigate to its list of per-preset switch footswitch denitions as follows:
Press HOME, then use Push-knob D to open the FC Per-Preset menu.
Page to the Per-Preset FC tab if it isn’t already selected.
2. Turn the VALUE knob to select your choice of per-preset switch denition “slots” (numbered “PP# 1-24.).
The rst twelve per-preset denitions are used by FM3 layout 6.
3. Dene the switch. The interface is basically identical to that used by the “EZ” footswitch page.
You can set Tap Function, Hold Function, LED ring color, Mini-Display settings, and Layout Links.
4. Repeat this process for any other switches you wish to dene.
5. Press Home when nished.
