1 INTRODUCTION
THE HOME PAGE: PRESETS
Once you have connected your FM9 you can begin to audition factory preset sounds. Of course, the footswitches
provide a convenient way to do this, but you can also operate the unit from its top panel.
Remember that aside from a few templates, the factory presets are designed for use with full-range
speakers / monitors / headphones. (See Section 4 for details on many other types of setups.)
The FM9 contains 512 preset memories. Each preset is a full “rig” with its own amps, cabs, effects, settings,
controllers, and more. When you consider everything that is possible with Scenes and Channels, a single preset
can cover an entire song, or even a whole show.
Here’s how to explore the factory presets:
Press HOME to show the Home page,
where you can switch presets.
To change presets, turn the VALUE
knob or use the NAV buttons.
Many factory presets have been set up with Scenes.
You can switch between Scenes using the NAV buttons or by
turning knob A. (See p. 15 for an introduction to Scenes.)
