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...

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...

Midi Controller External Modifier. Aaaggh I hate Midi!

Hi all. I have my expression pedal plugged into the single switch Disaster Area Midi-Baby. Expression message values 0-127 are set to be transmitted from the MB on Midi Controller 10 to the FM9. A single cc message value: 5, is sent on Controller 5 when the single switch is pressed. Controllers...

mr_fender's lovely vibrato??

Default Preset on Start up

I'm stumped. I reset my FM3 for sale to fund upgrade to F9. Decided not to sell. I am setting everything up the way I like it again but I can't get the FM3 to startup on a selected preset. I must have known how to do this at some time as it always started on the first of my presets at 400. Now...

Not a Bug Multi-comp problem back in final firmware 3.02?

Hi all. I have a preset which hovers around 81% CPU usage, the preset includes Moke's acoustic sim in two scenes, the others are just straight, uncomplicated generic lead scenes. Moke's sim includes amp, cab m-comp, pitch, comp, delay, reverb and enhance blocks. The cab is Moke's proprietary...

Fixed Preset with high CPU - Add effect and FM3 freezes & USB times out - USB flaky thereafter

Hi all. Noticed what I think is a bug (doing something I probably should'na oughta). I have a high CPU usage preset, which is attached. I attempted to add a chorus in parallel with the pitch block using the FM3 Editor. The FM3 freezes and does not respond (to any of it button presses) and the...

MC6 Toggle Effect on/off on FM3

Hi. I must confess to being a midi newbie and it confounds me regularly. I see a lot of FM3 owners also use the Morningstar foot controllers. I can't seem to work out how to get the MC6 to toggle an effect on/off in the FM3. I use all 6 buttons on the MC6 to access 6 presets with a 'tap'. I...

Struggling to get two scenes to sound the same in two different presets

Hi all. I am sure this is some newbie stuff-up, but I just can't get two scenes that sound they way I want them to in one preset but not in another. Preset One the tones are crisp and bright, in preset Two they are dull and woolly sounding, with identical settings for the active blocks. Preset...

Disaster Area Midi Baby 3 - Toggle scenes?

Hi all. I have a Morningstar MC6 which I use, amongst other things, to toggle between scenes. Press Switch A once for Scene 1, again for Scene 2 and again to return to Scene 1. If I change programs with another switch, say Switch C which toggles between Scenes 3 & 4, then return to Switch A the...

Original + Detuned tone with Virtual Capo?

Hi all. I am trying set up some patches that are detuned by a semitone and 2 semitones. I have followed the process outlined here: ...but not getting the same result. I seem to be outputting both the unaffected and the detuned tone, simultaneously - which is a truly abominable sound! :-) As...

Closed Preset: Select in Bank by Midi

Hi all. I understand that it is possible to change the default Bank Size to between 3 and 12. It would be handy to be able to do a Preset: Select in Bank using an external midi controller to select any of the presets within the bank beyond the 3 available on the FM3. I expect this can be...

Preset in Bank - Midi change?

Hi all. I have the FM3 on its way, due in about 3-4 weeks. I am going to use it with a Morningstar MC6. I want to minimise button pressing - playing guitar is challenging enough! :-) I want to access 6 presets with 4 scenes a piece. I see that I can set the default Bank size anywhere between 3...

External midi controller toggle Views?

Hi all. I am expecting my FM3 shortly and I am planning on using my Morningstar MC6 midi controller with it. Using the MC6 (as it has more free buttons) I want to be able to toggle between Views 1&2 as opposed to decrement/increment. Both Views 1 & 2 will be Preset Layout. I can't seem to find...

Scene toggle by midi not increment/decrement

Hi all. Haven't received my FM3, however, over the next few days I plan on setting up a Morningstar MC6 that I intend using with it. On all of the clips I have seen of the AxeFX III and FM3 being setup for scene changes by midi (some with the MC6) they have used the increment/decrement function...

Layout 1: Presets - Is Scene switching available?

Hi all. Trying to get my head around Presets, Views and Scenes on the FM3 - although I expect I am still a long way down the list. :) I see from Larry Mitchel's post on his switch config, that the switches can toggle scenes with a tap. So, tap Switch One and it is Scene 1, tap it again and it is...

Hi all. I have just sold my AX-FX II and an MFC controller and I am expecting my AX8 any day now. I have a question that I have been unable to resolve by searching the forum and the wiki. I used to have about 10 presets some with multiple scenes on the AX-FX all of which were available with...
