    Amp block bypass mode settings reset to Thru versus Mute with 8.02 beta

    Hi, all! I noticed that when I updated my FM9 firmware to the 8.02 beta, it reset all my amp block bypass mode setting to Thru versus Mute. I kept hearing dry signal bleed thru and it made me realize this was happening. Is there an easy way to update all presets so that the amp block bypass...

    Resetting amp blocks after firmware updates

    Thank you! But if I just go into 1 preset and "Reset Amp Block," it doesn't automatically save?

    Resetting amp blocks after firmware updates

    I installed the latest non-beta firmware and used the "Manage Presets" in FM9 Edit to select all the factory presets and "Reset Amp Blocks." It's almost finished updating. How do I get it to save all the updated factory presets now? Surely I don't have to go through 384 presets 1-by-1.

    Resetting amp blocks after firmware updates

    Ahhhhh. Gotcha. I was thinking it reset the amp block in ALL presets versus just the one I'm on. Thank you!

    Resetting amp blocks after firmware updates

    Perhaps I’m misunderstanding how it works. If I reset my amp blocks, all of my presets change, including factory and user presets. It seems like it would be difficult going into each preset and saving it 1-by-1.

    If you do reset the amp blocks, do you have to save each preset individually?

    Resetting amp blocks after firmware updates

    Hi, guys! I've had my trusty FM9 for a few years and have mainly just used it live at church direct to PA. Any time I've updated the firmware, I've never reset the amp blocks. I have so many purchased presets in my FM9 that I'm afraid will ruin my sounds if I reset the amps. Am I...

    FM9 Firmware Version 8.00 public beta 2

    Thank you, Maurice! Once you do these steps, it changes the sounds of your existing presets, correct? I'm wondering if you load your backup again to make sure your presets aren't affected much.

    FM9 Firmware Version 8.00 public beta 2

    I really need to dig more into the "soft resetting all amp blocks on all presets." I don't know that I've EVER done that with firmware updates on my FM9. Any quick ways to do that?
  12. WestonLawless

    I made Fractal GPT (Update: you can use it too)

    This is actually super cool! I've been using ChatGPT to craft better marketing emails at my job for the last 6 months or so. Never really thought about using it for help with my FM9. Thanks for putting this together! :)

    FM9 Firmware Version 7.00

    FM9 Factory Presets version 3.0 Release

    That was my question as well. I sent the new banks to my FM9 using FractalBot. Assuming no new presets were added, but the previous presets were updated. Hence why they're all still named the same.

    Tablet recommendations for FracPad app

    Does AX8 Edit allow for .wav IR's to be imported now ?

    I must be an idiot then, because although I was using "Manage Cabs" in AX8 Edit, it kept telling me to use "Manage Cabs" to import cabs in formats other than .syx. Back to the user's manual! :) Wes
