I've had my FM9 for about six months and the unit sounds absolutely glorious in stereo. However, I've been repeatedly encountering an issue I don't know how to solve: modulation on delays sounds like crap when I need to sum to mono. This sounds worst on the stereo tape but better on the Stereo Mind Guy and some other analog types; all sound wrong period to my ears. My L/R ratio is at 100% unless I'm deliberately trying to get different note values (i.e. 1/4 + 1/8dot), and I've experimented with the LFO phase offset in the delay block to try to fix the issues, but it doesn't seem to get rid of the problem entirely. Not using modulation seems to solve the problem, but I'd like to try to keep it in the signal if at all possible. I've read all the manual and wiki sections about stereo vs. mono and summing and delay parameters, but I still feel lost in trying to accomplish my goal of having my stereo cake and eating it in mono too.
