    Help! Noise issue with new FM3

    Question: Can you set the gate threshold so high you can't even open it? That'll tell you you're manipulating the gate parameters toward a useful end. Try the classic gate. Did you say what gate type you're running?

    Prevent FM3 Output knobs from moving

    I just think it looks like an afterthought, kinda tacked-on, out beyond the rails where it’s prone to take a beating or just get accidentally changed going in/out of a bag, indicators sloping away from you. Look, it ain’t gonna keep me from buying it, LOL, but it struck me as an odd choice.

    Sounds like the preset is switching before the controller assignments or something weird like that. I'd just turn the Autoengage off if you're not using it and it solves your issue. Probably a bit of an unforeseen bug or something. I'm sure Cliff will fix it if it makes it onto his radar.
