FM9 Turbo Lost Settings/Layouts/Songs/Setlists

[Krash5150]

I have a brand new (~3 month old) FM9 Turbo. I was using it at several practices and a gig. At my most recent practice I went to turn it on and the layouts, set lists, songs and settings were all cleared out. I didnt even have the default layouts, I just had dashes on all my footswitches.. All of my presets were still on the device however, so I managed to get through practice by resetting the layouts and reassigning my expression pedals.

- Can anyone explain why this might happen? I'm really worried about running into this issue at a gig. I will note that I use an AXE FX-3 at home, so I hadnt turned on the pedal for a couple of weeks as I only use it for rehearsals and gigs.
- Why would some of the information get wiped out but not the presets?

I have no answer, but i am curious:
A) do you use modifiers and controllers?
B) do you use per-preset overrides?
If so, are those retained? Those would matter the most to me... but it should not ever happen.

I dont. I have the FM9, a mission pedal for wah and an EV-1 for volume. that is my entire setup

That thread is super helpful and good to know I'm not alone. I take especially good care of the pedal, so I wouldnt have knocked anything loose but maybe the theories around magnets or electrostatic interference could be a thing. It does seem that those that experienced this saw a similar issue where the presets were still intact.

Sounds like the safest route is to keep a laptop on hand in case i need to restore from backup. +1 for the USB restore feature request.
