    Global Blocks on FM9 is so needed

    I might be in the minority here, but I think this is simply a business play. Global blocks are a really cheap way to get people to push for the Axe III instead of the FM9.

    Fm9 Turbo CPU...WOW!

    So I just got my FM9 after using the III for a few years. I was really worried about my kitchen sink preset wouldn't hold up from the III into the FM9. So stoked to report that I was able to simply export my III preset, load it into the FM9, and rock out using 73% CPU. This thing is epic!

    Switching from the II to the III - Motivations/Satisfaction

    do you play out a lot? the FC12 is the number 1 reason to upgrade IMO. I was in the same exact boat as you. However, if you're a studio only person, and you don't want to push your presets past their current capability (in terms of CPU) I'm not convinced there's much of a reason to upgrade.
