    Wish Non-linear expression pedal mapping to global I/O controls

    I use an expression pedal mapped to "Output 1 Volume" in Midi/Remote -> Other -> I/O, which gives a very linear "On/Off" drop in apparent volume. Would it be possible to add a non-linear response curve option to the pedal data to allow me to use 25%-100% of pedal travel to adjust output volume...

    FM9 firmware development team?

    Have just got my FM9 so I’m not up to speed on likely firmware development cycles. Is it the same team that does the FM3 (as the CPU architectures are the same) or are they a different team? Is it likely FM9 firmware will come after the FM3 FW6 is fully released or do they get worked on in parallel?

    Input 2 impedance?

    Im looking to whether its better to plug a microphone through a preamp (which needs additional power wiring) or direct into input 2 (via a XLR to TRS cable).

    FM9 layout and views info

    Can I merge AXEIII and FM3 block libraries?

    I use FM3 edit and AxeIII Edit on the same laptop. Is it OK to merge the two block libraries (by changing the block library path in FM3 Edit) into one library, so the blocks I create are available to add on either device? I assume this might give a few compatability issues if I create new Beta...

    Can the Axe-FX get close to this? EHX B9 Organ Machine Pedal

    I think this is very cool, but it might be a bit of a fad once I got to play with one.

Does anyone have a preset in a similar style...
