Fractal FM9 - Global Expression Setup; Global Volume Setup

11
1 INTRODUCTION
GLOBAL VOLUME SETUP
The FM9 allows global remote control of the volume of any Input or Output. To set up a pedal for global volume,
follow the instructions below.
Be careful not to assign the same pedal to both Volume and an External Controller as described above.
First you’ll need to decide which global volume option you prefer:
 An Input Volume changes gain or distortion and the behavior of level-dependent blocks like
the compressor or gate. This is like using a volume pedal between your guitar and amp.
 Output Volume does not affect gain or level-dependent blocks, but scales everything you hear
including effect tails. This is like using adjusting the level of your guitar in the PA.
To set Global Volume:
1. From the Home page, open SETUP: MIDI/Remote: Other.
2. NAV down to nd the entry that you want to control: Input Volume 1, 2, or 3, or Output 1, 2, or 3.
3. Turn the A or VALUE knob to assign the pedal you want to use.
Select “PEDAL 2” for the onboard Pedal jack (or #1 or #3 if you prefer).
4. Test and EXIT when nished.
Learn more about these options in “The MIDI/Remote Menu” on p. 95
GLOBAL EXPRESSION SETUP
FM9 Pedal Jack 1 can be assigned as the “External 1 Controller” for use with factory presets as a Wah.
Follow the instructions below.
1. From the Home page, open SETUP: MIDI/Remote: External.
2. NAV down to External Control 1.
3. Turn the A or VALUE knob to select PEDAL 1 (EXP/SW TIP)
4. Press EXIT when nished.
You can test the pedal using Factory presets in the range 000–064.
External 1 can also easily be assigned as Volume, Whammy, or almost anything else on a per-preset basis.
Learn more about assigning pedals and switches to sound parameters in Section 9: Modiers.
