A, B, C, D, and E knobs — Five “endless rotary” push-knobs perform different functions in different areas of
the FM9. Push functions are shown as “buttons” in the display above the knobs. Most Edit pages show one
or two rows of ve knobs for easy 1:1 operation. On vertical menu pages, knob functions have “A,B,C,D,E”
labels on the left to indicate control mapping. (You can also use NAV and VALUE to edit any parameter.)

edit presets on the Layout grid, view Controllers, or turn the page to access meters, performance controls, or
the presets directory.
EDIT Button — This is used to Edit blocks in the current preset. You can jump right to the current block from
the home menu or any other page and then tap EDIT sequentially to step through all blocks in the preset
(top-to-bottom, left-to-right), or select a block on the Layout grid rst and then press Edit. See “Presets” on p.
39 for more on editing presets.
STORE Button — Enters the Store menu where you can save presets and also edit the names of presets and
scenes. See “Saving Changes” on p. 47.
