FM9 Firmware Version 4.01 public beta 1

[Randalljax]

This is cool, the Buxom Boost is one of my favorite pedals on my board. I’ll be curious to see how it stacks up against the FM9 model.

Hopefully maybe it will get you some real estate back

Does this effect the Austin buddy update coming in February?

@austinbuddy is the only one who can answer that.

It shouldn't if the amps don't need to be reset...

Thanks for getting back - don’t know how you’re keeping up with these up dates - waiting on your effects package - all the best

Yep, LiveGold Bank 2 is almost done - should be ready this weekend, and LiveGold Bank 3 will be by/around of Feb. I'll post on the LiveGold Vendor thread when it's available.

I think I might have found a bug in this firmware. The wah control is stuck on max if EV-1 is disconnected.
Iv'e followed the instructions and set External 1 to Pedal 1 and set External Control 1 in Midi General to 0%.
If its done when the EV-is disconnected it stys on 0 but if I connect EV-1 and then disconnect it it goes back to 100% and stays there.

Not a bug. That's just how the ports on the FM9 and FM3 work if there's no variable load attached to them.

Thanks for the answer! A bit unfortunate behaviour I would say. Maybe not if the EV-1 is used as a volume pedal off course but as a wha indeed.

You can always switch from 95% to 5% on the auto engage to work around this.

True! I think I found a way to handle it as well. If the preset is saved with the wha bypassed and the controller at 0 it will stay that way when the preset is selected without the EV-1 connected. That is good enough.

Addition: The scenes having wha in the preset has to be saved in bypass.

...strange suddenly that workaround didnt work. Back to square 1.

OK, I got it working I got it working when setting External Controller 1 in Midi/Remote - External to None and swapped between the presets.

Hi there!

I use Fractal Audio for a long time now, since 2008. I owned an Axe Standard, an an Axe II, which I used a lot live and in studio, now I switched to FM9, I owned FM3 as well. Both FM3/9 are amazing gears I love to play with.

I think, I experienced some strange behaviour in FW 4.01, maybe it's a bug:

I tried to organize the footswitches on my FM9 for an upcoming rehearsal with my band. I needed two presets with several scene changes plus stompbox-like functions and my idea was to use same footswitch #7 on both presets to select the other one, so that I could kind of toggle between them. I edited the footswitch layouts as mentioned in the manual and as I'd done it before on both FM3 and FM9 with pre-FW 4.01, including overriding the built-in layouts (I never use them, because I found it better for me to build my own layouts from scratch. I'm a long-time programmer myself, so I don't fear programming complexity).

So in a nutshell I saved preset A to preset #000, preset B to preset #001.

Strange behaviour: After configuring my switching layout and defining the switch for the preset selection, FM9 always jumped to preset #511.

I tried couple of things to get rid of this, nothing helped. When I choose display name "# of destination", then the FM9 clearly shows #511 on its footswitch display, no matter which preset # I targeted. I also tried toggling between preset #000/#001, and I tried to edit with and without FM9Edit software. And I frtfm... but nothing helped.

I ended up with a workaround:
Funny part is, that this behaviour only occurs at lower preset # <= 010 (I am in office now, but I think, it was #010). I assigned my presets to preset #020 and #021 and fake-toggle between them. Works fine.

As far as I remember, the FW 3 did not show this behaviour. For FW 4.0 I can't tell for sure.

Cheers Thomas

This release already has some.

And since it's already out, anything added would be a NEW release, not this one

Makes sense.
