ā¢ Added Per-Preset and Global Performance Pages. These provide a new means of intuitive hands-on control of FM3 sound parameters with no menu delving required. (A PDF overview is included with the zip file containing this firmware release.)
ā¢ Added āDowntuneā and āDisplay Modeā parameters to the Tuner, and added the option āAllā to Tuner Input Source so it can track both input 1 and/or input 2.
ā¢ Added Setup: Global: Config āOutput 1 EQ Typeā and āOutput 2 EQ Typeā options for graphic or parametric, including the option to turn each EQ off.
ā¢ Added āFootswitch Tuner Modeā (Setup: FC Controllers: Config) which uses the onboard LED rings on the FM3 to help you tune visually.
