13 SETUP MENU
I/O: USB PAGE
The USB page of the I/O menu contains parameters to adjust the levels of USB inputs.
USB 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 – These parameters adjust USB playback levels from -40 to +20 dB. Normally you would
set computer audio playback levels in the computer, but these controls are handy when you need a boost or cut.
SPDIF – This scales the level of the SPDIF input. Recognize that this scaling occurs at the output of the input—
that is, after the input itself but prior to any processing on the grid.
I/O: PEDAL PAGE
The Pedal page of the I/O menu contains parameters to set up expression pedals or switches at the Pedal jacks
on the rear panel of the FM9. Expression pedals should have a linear resistance taper and max resistance of
10kΩ to 100kΩ. Fractal Audio Systems EV-1 and EV-2 expression pedals are recommended. An external switch
can also be used, as long as its contacts make and break the connection between tip and sleeve. A regular 1/4"
guitar cable can be used with switches. Expression pedals must be used with Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) cables. See
"Expression Pedals" on p. 10 for more.
