    Content of the "FM9-(Date)-nnnnnn-system+gb+fc.syx" Backup File

    Hi all. I'm expecting my second FM9 in a couple of weeks. Don't ask what happened to the first one - I should be shot! :-) Luckily I had a full backup of the first unit. It is clear what is in most of the backup files, but does anyone know the details of the system backup file? Is there a list...

    Thanks for dropping in Greg and Joker. By settings I was thinking the ones for the external 'stand-in' pedals, but also, and more importantly, Layout and View settings including the 'Layout Links', which take a bit of effort to get my head around and then set them up. Sounds like I should be...

    Settings transferable from 4.01 to 6.02

    Hi all. I am thinking about getting another FM3 - my previous one being sold to finance an FM9 upgrade. It took me quite a while to get it to work with an FC6, external pedals and midi the way I like it. The last backup of the FM3's settings was when it had v4.01 firmware installed. I expect the...

    External Switches

    Yes, I had a close look at the Audiofront after seeing you used it unixguy, but went with the baby as my expression needs are much simpler than yours (way simpler! :) ) and I only have 240V and 5V USB power to the board. That said, I have recently got my hands on a cable with a 5V usb to 9V...

    External Switches

    It is a shame the FM9 doesn't have the same pedal functionality as the FM3 pedal inputs. I have worked around this freeing up an input by running my expression pedal into one of the cute little Disaster Area Midi-Babys. Works well.

    How to handle wah. Use expression pedal or separate wah pedal?

    Odd man out here. I use a single Mission SP1-R which has the additional output TRS jack for a switch under the toe of the pedal you mention.

    Simple 2 or 3 Button Midi Controller. Which one?

    You should be good with the big bores. WTF! None of the pedal inputs on the FM9 take dual switches when the FM3 inputs do? I just don't get that. Totally screws up my plans for my FM9 pedalboard. Back to the drawing board.
