Not sure if this has been covered, but how portable will most presets be to the FM-9?
Not sure this has been covered by
@austinbuddy and certainly it is not something that was expected by him.
I will do some experimentation when the 9 hits my shores.

So far, there are a few (minimal) issues porting over presets using Preset manager, I did some LiveGold banks (all three) ports from III to FM9 and from FM3 to FM9 today as early test.
For shunt to GEQ4+Output 3 block(usually an amp block tap to go to a power amp/real cab in my Axe-FX III version TonePacks), that imports (via Preset manager) over good from Axe-Fx III to FM9, which is good. Output 4 disappears, as it should.
From everything I see so far generally, there are just a handful of little things to work out to make it perfect to do 1:1 ports, and I'm sure once Fractal team refines stuff, it this will all be smooth in a few weeks to do those 1:1 preset ports.
I'm reporting stuff in, and prefer to wait for Fractal team to address internally before listing all the little stuff I've found publicly here first, since I already know some are already going to be addressed soon. No reason to name a problem that you know is already in process of being solved, right?
So, it would be nice to have some sort of hardware/soft button option for that choice "always use Ultra Res cab mode in FM9, if IR is Ultra-Res" kind of thing, rather than manually changing hundreds of preset cab modes from standard to use Ultra Res - the FM9 seems to have the CPU power for Ultra Res no problem. I'd personally prefer default to be ON for Ultra Res in FM9, not off...
(Edited/deleted some comments here after further weekend testing).
Oh - I did work up a quick, personal
TEST BETA FM9 "OMG9 AustinBuddy presets all layout file" for the FM9 tonight that would work with LiveGold presets or Naked Amps or Bass TonePack or Brit Rock Royalty #1 if you are trying to port presets over and want to use the amp controller CS switches on the FM9.
Attaching if anyone wants to import it to your FM9 and give it a go on your own end. Just know any compressors you port over from the III to the FM9 may be messed up if the Studio FB1 type (just use the FM3 preset version when you port instead, and you should be okay).
