10 LAYOUTS & SWITCHES
STARTUP LAYOUTS
The FM9 and each connected FC Controller have a Default Startup Layout that loads automatically when you
power on the FM9. You can change the default startup layout for any device as follows.
SET DEFAULT LAYOUTS:
On the FM9, open the “Devices” page of the FC Controllers/Onboard Switches menu under SETUP.
Use the A knob to select the desired Device.
Use the NAV buttons and VALUE wheel to set the desired Default Layout.
You can also manually change the Current Layout and Current View (p. 81)
for both the FM9 itself and any connected FC controllers.
The Devices page also allows you to set up Mirroring the FM9 to an FC controller.
See the FC Controller Owner’s Manual for more on mirroring.
BACKING UP LAYOUTS
All layouts are included in any backup of the unit’s system, but you
can also back up or restore Layouts individually or all at once using
FM9-Edit. Find these options in the Edit dropdown of the Layouts
section of the “FC Controllers” area. (shown at right).
NAMING LAYOUTS
Every Layout has a name, which appears in the Master Layout Menu and can also appear on dedicated Layout
footswitches. Changing the name of a layout is simple with the same interface used to name presets and scenes.
NAME A LAYOUT:
On the FM9, open the “Layouts” page of the FC Controllers/Onboard Switches menu under SETUP.

Turn the B knob or use NAV buttons to move the cursor.
The C knob selects upper case letters.

The E knob selects numbers.
The VALUE knob selects ALL characters, including symbols.
Press D or E for INSERT and DELETE functions.
