My first FM9 presets packs, Pink Floyd and Amp Packs Bundle, are now available !
First , the Pink Floyd ones :
About that video : Two years and a half after the final "Mauritian Tribute to Pink Floyd" show (2h26 min), I played all my guitar parts live in my studio (the original guitar track is muted in the live recording of my band), using my brand new FM9. The purpose was to show all the presets I use, and which scene is used in which part of each song (that's why you see FM9-Edit, and my feet). It wasn't easy, specially that I tried to record everything in one shot, I didn't rehearse and had forgot many parts (*) ! But here it is, as some sort of "video manual" for my FM9/FM3/Axe-Fx III presets.
Songs : 0:00 intro, 1:08 In the flesh, 4:22 Time, 11:13 Mother, 17:51 Have a cigar, 22:42 Wish you were here, 28:40 Us and them/Any color you like/Brain damage/Eclipse, 44:32 Money, 53:44 Marooned, 59:13 Echoes, 1:06:53 Run like hell, 1:12:30 Breathe, 1:15:58 Sorrow (intro), 1:17:33 Young lust, 1:21:25 On the turning away, 1:28:54 Shine on you crazy diamond, 1:42:17 Hey you, 1:47:06 High hopes, 1:54:41 The great gig in the sky, 2:00:06 Goodbye blue sky, 2:02:45 The final cut, 2:08:18 Another brick in the wall pt 1/Happiest days of our life/Another brick in the wall pt 2, 2:17:37 Comfortably numb
The actual guitar recording took me 4 hours, and the video editing, two full days. The guitar performance is far from perfect, I didn't play most of these songs for 30+ months and forgot many details, plus I currently have big arms/fingers pain, that didn't help ! Watch on youtube for more details on the performance

The other pack I released is the Amp Packs bundle
The purpose of the presets in this pack is that each one can be used for a full song, or even a full gig – I used a similar preset in my Axe-Fx III for a full show.
Based on my Axe-Fx III Amp Packs (*), but re-dialed for the FM9, each of these 89 presets is meant to be used live, with 8 scenes :
1 Rhythm
2 Crunch (less gain)
3 Lead 1
4 lead 2 (wetter, fatter than lead 1)
5 Fender style clean
6 Fender style clean with chorus
7 Eighties style glassy clean
8 Acoustic simulation
Scenes 1 to 4 uses the same amp model/channel, with various amount of gain, so there's no sound cut going from rhythm to crunch to lead, unlike what you have when using different channels. Each preset use a different amp model. The amount of gain in scenes 1 to 4 goes from rock to metal, except for the 13 presets using boutique amps, which are more suitable for classic rock/blues-rock/fusion. Scenes 5 to 8 have the same amps/effects settings in each preset – the effects settings in the 13 “boutique” presets are slightly different. Those 13 boutique presets also uses a different “clean” amp for scenes 5 & 6. Also included are 26 custom cabs, including one for acoustic simulation. As usual, those presets are for FRFR systems.
Both packs are not direct port of the FM3 or Axe-Fx III versions. They're probably compatible with the Axe-Fx III (with possible conversion bugs), but not with the FM3. It took me two weeks to optimize both of them for the FM9, as I wanted to use all the CPU power available.

I spent almost 3 weeks without touching a guitar, first because I was traveling, then because of health issues (not completely resolved yet). My goal is to have all my Axe-Fx III packs available for the FM9 by the end of next week, which should be doable if I don't have too many conversion errors
