OVERVIEW
Please review “Intro to Scenes and Channels” on p. 15 before reading this section.
The FM9 contains 512 preset memory locations.
Each preset is like a full rig with its own amp, cab, effects, and more.
Every memory location, including the Factory Presets, can be modied and/or completely overwritten.
If you want to restore the factory presets (or install the newer versions we sometimes release),
you can download these from https://www.fractalaudio.com and install using FM9-Edit.
Every preset has its own name that you can change as you store it.
Presets are built on the Layout Grid by inserting, connecting, and dialing in Blocks.
Every preset contains eight Scenes, each with its own name.
Blocks contain Channels. Change the channel to dial in a completely different setting!
The FM9 has more CPU power than the FM3, but less than the Axe-Fx III.
Still, a single preset can still potentially cover an entire song, or even an entire gig.
SELECTING PRESETS
Different areas of the FM9 provide different ways to select (or “load”) presets:
On the Home page – Use the NAV LEFT and NAV RIGHT buttons or turn the VALUE knob.
On the “PRESETS” directory page of the HOME menu – Use the NAV buttons to
select a preset and press ENTER. Presets in the directory are sorted in numerical
order. To re-sort alphabetically, press the SORT A–Z button (Push-knob E).
Foot Switches – FM9 footswitches have a range of “preset select” options.
MIDI – MIDI Bank and PC messages may be used to select presets using the industry-
standard “CC#0 + PC” method. See “MIDI Reference Tables” on p. 118. MIDI Custom
PC Mapping is also supported, see “Program Change Mapping” on p. 53.
