    Does FAS Update Amp List Periodically or Just With Systemwide FW Updates?

    Typically it's only with major updates but every so often theres an amp or drive added with a minor update. Typically it's also all about the Axe Fx 3 and then updates trickle down to the FM9 and FM3 but again every so often an amp or drive gets added to the FM3 or FM9 before the Axe Fx 3. Very...

    FM9 Firmware Version 7.00 public beta (1)

    Hmm, might have been a temporary glitch. Yesterday when I was working on preset-levelling for the beta firmware, an autowah preset didn't have the sequencer and modifier set correctly. I tried to restore from my backup bank from v6 backup and that didn't work either. Today I grabbed my old Fm9...

    FM9 Firmware Version 7.00 public beta (1)

    In my preset I had a sequencer doing a faux auto wah and that got zeroed out when loading in the FM9 beta. I did test setting values and saving and they did save correctly, but the previous Sequencer values from v6 was not retained after loading the beta preset.

    FM9 Firmware Version 7.00 public beta (1)

    I just noticed a bug, the Sequencer gets nulled out loading presets that previously had a sequencer in them (and when restoring from backups). I tried this with and without FM9 Edit attached and the issue appeared in both cases so definitely related to the FM9 firmware.

    FM9 Firmware Version 7.00 public beta (1)

    It's impossible to give a generic answer to this question. New firmware changes the sound, otherwise there wouldn't be any point of improving and releasing new firmwares. Different firmwares changes the sound differently. Sometime a little, sometime a lot. And pretty much every update has...

    Control Switches Stay On Between Presets?

    I know there is, and I've set it to what I think should be the default setting of Scene 1. My point is that the fact that the new default scene is the scene when the preset is last saved is likely one of those contributing factors to a common (mis)conception that Fractal units are hard(er) to...
  10. Johan Allard

    Control Switches Stay On Between Presets?

    Yes, that is definitely a current limitation. That would have to have two new options like "Last (default on)" and "Last (default off)". I've never understood the appeal of the default scene being the scene when the preset was last saved, and I don't think that's a good default setting. But...
  11. Johan Allard

    Control Switches Stay On Between Presets?

    You mean for instance: Preset 1has CS 1 setting "last within preset", you set CS1 on. You switch to Preset 2, set CS1 to off. You switch back to Preset 1, do you mean that "last within preset" should set CS1 to on when loading the preset? In that case, the unit would need to globally keep...
  12. Johan Allard

    Control Switches Stay On Between Presets?

    You change it by setting CS Per Scene to "off" on the default scene if you want it "off". By having the three options you have great flexibility and there would absolutely not be any need to change this. For instance it's not uncommon to have like a single-coil boost in presets. If you attach...
  13. Johan Allard

    Control Switches Stay On Between Presets?

    Correct, but if the setting is "Last" on the scene that's loaded when you switch preset, the Control Switch will keep whatever state it has - making it in effect global. If you wish it to always start "off" when you load a preset, you will have to set the CS Per Scene to "off" for the default...
  14. Johan Allard

    Control Switches Stay On Between Presets?

    This is controlled in Controllers → CS per Scene. The default is "Last" which will keep the Control switch state to whatever it was Last (and what you see). I prefer to set all mine to Off except in scenes where I want them on - I use CS1 as my Amp Boost and engages that in a few scenes.

    Another vote for BandHelper. I've been using BandHelper to create setlist for quite a while and recently got into using it to send Midi to my Fractal (FM9 in my case and would work the same across the board). Unfortunately Fractal products don't send Midi out via USB so I had to get a Midi to...

    The importance of Mono for live guitar playing

    There's nothing that doesn't cause any issues 😀. For instance my main delay is a Stereo BBD with the L/R Time Ratio set to 75% so creates that 1/4 note, dotted 8 note halo. Sounds wonderful in Stereo. With Sum L+R it's still doing that 1/4 note, dotted 8 note halo but in mono and still sounds...

    The importance of Mono for live guitar playing

    Yes, after reading this thread I've also been thinking I should only run mono to FoH from here on. A sort of similar thing I've been thinking of is reverb. I find it really jarring playing at home without any reverb so I always have a bit of reverb on in each preset I create. But it would...

    Cover band players: set up questions amps and effects…

    FM9 Livin on a Prayer - Talkbox with no Expression Pedal (with Free Preset)

    About 6 years ago I created an preset for Livin on a Prayer using my Ax8 and a Expression Pedal to control the talkbox. On Saturday I played a gig as a substitute guitar player and Livin on a Prayer was on the setlist so I took some time to update the preset for my FM9, and updated it to work...

    Red Sound Elis8 FRFR Review and MF 10 Comparision

    Update on the above as I played a gig last night with the bigger constellation band (drums, bass, keyboards, rhythm guitar and me on lead guitar). I was standing in front of the keyboard player and placed one Elis.8 speaker on the side of him and up within the drums on the other. I kept the EQ...

    Super small backup rig

    Always cool to see different options for different use cases. I got a Tech 21 Fly Rig v2 as my backup. If the shit hits the fan, I very my like the feature that there's no programming, no menus or anything like that. A few knobs to dial and just a couple of effects - all I would need in the very...

    Red Sound Elis8 FRFR Review and MF 10 Comparision

    I've used my Elis.8 bundle a few times now. I've been playing CLR(s) for quite a few years now and always felt they translated well from my studio monitors. My initial thought when I tried the Elis.8 at home was as many has pointed out that they sounded dark but I wanted to preserve judgement...

    You guys who are running your own sound…..

    I went with Yamaha DXR's and DXS's. I already had 2 DXR10's that I've used for my Fractal stuff for many years and then over about a year completed the rest and now have 2xDXR12's for FoH, 2xDXS15's (subs) and 4xDXR10's for monitors (1 each). I use a QSC Touchmix 16. Never felt overpowering and...

    Problems with switching presets/switching scenes/amp blocks in a preset (tried three solutions, none work)

    It's possible as long as you don't use different channels (i.e. use X for everything). You can then setup two parallel amp blocks. Set both to mute when bypassed. In scene 1, set AMP1 enabled and AMP2 disabled. In scene 2 set AMP1 disabled and AMP2 enabled. If you want more options you can add...

    Wireless for Fm9

    Another Sennheiser XSW-D user here works great. We use Sennheiser XSW for our lead vocalist as well in our band and it works great for that as well.

    WISH: Alternative to global blocks

    I like it as well. I would create source presets, say a "EVH Master Preset" with an EVH style Amp, Phaser, Flanger, and and then just link to that preset when I want those sounds in another preset. I'd probably end up with about 5 master presets with different styles and blocks that I would...
