I have so much respect for this.Verified and will be fixed for next firmware release.

This happened to me as well. Factory preset with USB into FM3-Edit running. Tried disconnecting USB but the FM3 remained frozen. Had to reboot the FM3.I installed firmeware 5.01 without any problems. My FM3 worked fine.
When I used the FM3 today and wanted to change a preset, the FM3 freezed, I could not change any presets. The FM3 did not react, all the knobs were without any function. I had to turn off the FM3 and reboot it.
This did not happen before.
Same here, hopefully this will get more than a few people straight!I have so much respect for this.
See FC Changes in release notes.The LED ring lights by footswitches don't work as they should.

My footswitches are set:

FS2 - select Scene 2
FS3 - toggle Scenes 2 and 3
exteernal FS - toggle Scenes 4 and 2
Is it a bug to be fixed? or is it something new?
How can I fix it?
Just a quick possibility with people having their FM3 lock up. If you’re using a user made preset see what the CPU usage is. Although the update has reduced CPU usage for certain configurations I have seen increases in some presets. Basically make sure that your unit isn’t freezing due to over CPU level.I installed firmeware 5.01 without any problems. My FM3 worked fine.

I guess the last point in that section is what you are refering to.See FC Changes in release notes.

No it’s not “screwed up” it’s just different. I’m not at my FM3 right now to give step by step instructions, but the solution is to go into the FC edit and layout section and change them however you want.I guess the last point in that section is what you are refering to.
Do you mean that this change has screwed it up?
Is there a way to fix it ? (keeping FW5.01).
You can always roll back to prior firmwareI guess the last point in that section is what you are refering to.

See if this gets you to a starting point where you can work it out from there.I guess the last point in that section is what you are refering to.

Thank you! I used a factory preset and the use of the CPU was not very high. My FM 3 was not connected to FM edit, I used my FM during the rehearsal. So a reboot was difficult while playing.Just a quick possibility with people having their FM3 lock up. If you’re using a user made preset see what the CPU usage is.

Has it been happening often? If so, you could try a reinstall of the F/W or contact support. And Yes post a bug report in the “Bug” forum.Thank you!

Should I post this problem in another thread “FM Bugs”?
Based upon your layout, the FM3 spends most of its time on Scene 2 and the other switches are used to access 3 other scenes. In this scenario, the switches seem to be operating correctly:The LED ring lights by footswitches don't work as they should.

No, it happend the first time. I am using the FM3 mor than a year, it never was blocked in that way. Thank you for your response. I will post this in the bug forumHas it been happening often?

Have there been updated factory presets since June 2021? I don't have a preset 009. They start at 0011 for me - JMP1 OD1 -cCan I just say Preset 009 (PLEXI 50W) on Fw 5.01......
No need to change one single thing for me... all scenes wail as they are....
Don't know who "composed" this preset, but...... thank you!!

Thanks. Just updated and that preset sounds great, although it appears in the 009 slot at it starts at 000. I must have still had the beta version. Glad I saw your post.
