PERFORMANCE CONTROL PAGES
INTRODUCTION
The FM9 is easy to edit with its intuitive system of menu pages and parameters, but you can’t really do this mid-
performance. Musicians sometimes do adjust their equipment while playing, however (during a break or even mid-
song). Traditional analog gear is very accommodating: amp knobs are at arm’s length, and you can easily reach
down and tweak a pedalboard effect.
The Performance control pages of the FM9 are designed for exactly this kind of easy, direct adjustment
without menu-diving. Each of the two Performance Control Pages (aka “Perform Pages”) hosts ten controls
of your choice. The FM9s ve “ABCDE” knobs provide instant access to ve parameters, with a second ve
just one button tap away. 5 knobs x 2 rows x 2 pages = twenty controls in all! You can even add custom labels.
Performance Control pages stay conveniently “parked” on the screen when you change presets or scenes,
creating an experience just like what you get with dedicated hardware controls.
The Global Performance Control Page (Perform-Gbl) stays the same even when you change presets. Factory
default settings show basic amp controls here: Bass, Mid, Treble, Depth, Presence, Drive, Master and Level.
The Per-Preset Performance Control Page (Perform-PP) uses assignments stored in the current preset. One
preset might show Drive pedal controls, while a different preset shows various effect Mix controls. It’s totally up
to you. Most Factory Presets already have “Perf-PP” assignments for you to explore and try.
DISPLAYING A PERFORMANCE PAGE
Displaying a Performance page is easy: just press Home followed by Page Right to the Per-Preset or Global
perform page. These pages stay “parked” on the screen until you manually change to another page, so you can
change presets or scenes and still have your custom Performance Control options ready to use.
In summary, Performance Control pages provide an easy and intuitive way to interact with your FM9 just as you
would with traditional analog gear.
ADJUSTING PERFORMANCE CONTROLS
Using these controls is easy. They behave exactly like the knobs, switches and selectors of the normal edit pages.
While displaying a Performance Page, just use the A,B,C,D or E knobs or NAV and VALUE to make changes. Use
the NAV up or down keys to change rows.
A performance control is a stand-in or “alias” for the same control in its usual place. For example, adjusting Amp
Level on the global performance control page is the same as adjusting Amp Level wherever else it may be found
in the edit menu of the amp block. If you change on a Performance control and then store the preset, the change
is saved.
