    Does FM9 system backup from non-turbo restore correctly on Turbo?

    Worked for me too. I was fortunate enough to get my FM9 last November and the bass player in my band just got the Turbo last week. He swapped with me since I’d use the extra processing power way before he’d need it. Took about 10 minutes to have it all transferred and tested out. Played two...

    Wish - Global Input gain control on all inputs

    That’s right. I’m trying to use the FM9 to mix the band in to my IEM system, without having to use a separate mixer to do so. A global gain on Input 3 (or any input other than input 1) would allow for this.

    Wish - Global Input gain control on all inputs

    It is there. I know my use case isn’t what the control was necessarily intended for. But I also think it would be cool if we could select which input to apply the gain to, if adding a control for each input isn’t feasible.

    Wish - Global Input gain control on all inputs

    I have been running my monitor feed for the band mix through input 3 and then out to my IEM transmitter. I do this so I can have my FM9 in stereo in my ears along with the band mix. I set up a global knob on the performance page so I could adjust the input level for the band mix. But when I...

    FM3 Firmware Release Version 1.05

    The FM3 has been rock solid for me since upgrading to 1.05. I don’t do the USB audio thing though. I just don’t think it’s fair to characterize the way you have. Most aspects of the device are outstanding, and they are working on USB.
