TUTORIAL: HOW TO SET UP PERFORMANCE CONTROLS
Performance Controls must be set up using FM9-Edit, the companion editor/librarian software for the FM9.
The following tutorial includes multiple examples.
1. First, let’s edit the Global Performance page. To display it, tap Home, then tap Page Right twice. Notice that
the factory default settings place the basic knobs of the AMP block here: Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence, Depth,
Drive, Master Volume, Level. There are also two empty spots. We’ll ll one of them here with the Delay Mix
control so you can quickly adjust delay levels when you play.
2. Connect your FM9 over USB to a compatible Mac or Windows computer and Launch FM9-Edit (see p. 13).
(Remember, you will need a driver if you are running Windows. See Section 3: USB).
3. In FM9 Edit, load Factory Preset 001 or any preset that contains the Delay 1 block.
4. Once this preset loads, click on the delay block to select it in the grid.
5. Switch to the Performance Page editor in FM9 Edit by clicking the Perform button above the grid.
6. Drag and Drop the Mix parameter of the delay block to an empty slot in the Global Performance Controls
area.
7. You can exit the Perform Page editor now by clicking again on the Perform button above the grid
NOTE: Since we’ve only changed a Global Performance Control, there is no need to store anything.
In comparison, when you edit the Per-Preset Performance page you must save the preset to commit changes.
8. Let’s add Reverb Mix to the remaining empty slot on the Perform-Gbl page. We must rst change to the
reverb block to drag-and-drop from its edit menu. Of course we could mometarily return to the grid, but there’s
a way to change the current block without doing this. A dropdown menu in FM9-Edit lists every block in the
current preset. Find it left of the large block icon in the lower panel of FM9-Edit (shown at right, highlighted
in green). Select Reverb 1 from this list and then drag its Mix parameter to the
Performance Page editor as you did with the Delay Mix.
9. You can also use drag-and-drop to rearrange controls on performance pages. Drag one
control onto another to swap them. Try this out on the Reverb Mix and Delay controls.
Decide how you like this and then move on.
TIP: To remove a control, click it and then press Delete/Backspace on your keyboard.
10. You can change the two line label for any control by double-clicking on the existing
name. Type your desired text and then press Enter/Return on your keyboard to conrm.
Test this by changing the rst line of the delay control to “DELAY” instead of “DLY1”.
You have reached the end of this tutorial. Test your changes on the FM9.
