Random stock presets are incredibly loud

[clags]

Hey guys, brand new fm3 owner as of today. I wanted to check to make sure I’m not missing something.....some of the factory presets are jarringly loud out of nowhere. One example is the cliffs of Dover preset. Is everybodys like this out of the box or did I bump something accidentally in my initial exploration of the device?

One of the things I do when auditioning factory presets is to lower the level of the more boisterous presets. It's normal.

Jump in there and start editing. They’re all starting blocks.

Keep your Output 1 volume knob low until you load the patch and see how loud it is. I start off with it at 25%.
