You folks ever spend time trying to dial in different models just to realize...

I've found that I tend to gravitate towards the similar tones in whatever I use, which is why I tend to not use prebuilt presets. They don't sound the way I would do them, so I just make my own. But I also think that's a good thing. I've developed my own style over the years and that includes my...

FM9 Firmware Version 4.00 public beta 1

Really enjoying this update. I really like how amps clean up better with your volume knob. Not that they didn't before, but you can tell it's better.

Boston NON-Rockman Request, but a few SR&R Rockmodule Requests (and a little Rockmodule background)

I'm hoping that do! It seems like it wouldn't be that difficult.

FM9 Firmware Version 2.0 public beta

I've found, like others have commented, that if my patch is over 80% processing power that the unit has very slow patch patch and scene changes. This is on the unit itself. The on unit interface is also slow to react. If I keep things under 80% it seems to work fine.

Making an Effect Stay on When Changing Scenes??

Thanks. I did know about the blocks. I haven't had a chance to implement anything yet. Been swamped with work. I'll give it a try this weekend. Thanks everyone for all the feedback!

It's excellent! I've played around with detuning my guitar 2 1/2 steps down and it was really tracking well and sounded good. I didn't expect that with that much of a drop. Not that I would play that way for that much of a drop, but I was testing just to see. I'd definitely do it for 1/2 or 1 steps.

Making an Effect Stay on When Changing Scenes??

Maybe this is in the documentation but I didn't find it. I use scenes in my main gig preset. I can switch to all 8 scenes to get the variety of tones I need for our set. We tune a 1/2 step down, but there are a few songs that we do in standard tuning. In the past I would use a capo, but with the...

Tonal Bliss!

So I've had my FM9 for about 2 months and I've never been this happy with a modeler or effects pedal/rack gear in my life!!!! Right now I have it sitting on my desk and hooked up to my studio monitors. The coolest thing for me is that I can watch a YouTube video of a band I like and look up what...

FM9 Firmware Version 2.0 public beta

I'll say that I've never gotten along with digital versions of compressors. I've liked real compressor pedals but not in the Helix or the previous firmware on FM9. Seems like I couldn't get them to add sustain well. I'm EXTREAMLY happy with these new ones though! I'm going to start using them in...

I've only gotten to play with the new firmware for just a little bit (had to get back to actual work!), but I'm really liking the new compressors!! This is my first experience with updating firmware on a Fractal. Went super smooth! I love the list of additions!
