Powered up my FM9, and all of my presets sounded WAY off. All of my user IRs are gone. The whole User bank is empty? WTF???? What did I do??? Suggestions? Firmware 7.0.
On the unit itself or FM9 edit? If it's on the unit, reload your user cab back up. On FM9 Edit, try RANF. maybe edit just needs to reexamine what's on the FM9.Powered up my FM9, and all of my presets sounded WAY off. All of my user IRs are gone. The whole User bank is empty?

I thought the same, but I think he noticed things sounded bad and then discovered it's because the user cabs are missing.On the unit itself or FM9 edit? If it's on the unit, reload your user cab back up. On FM9 Edit, try RANF. maybe edit just needs to reexamine what's on the FM9.
In the unit itself. Restoring a backup does not address why this happened in the first place. If it was my doing, I need to know what it could have been so I don't do it again (I have done nothing to my knowledge). If it is somehow a defect, then this is catastrophic, as I am on tour.On the unit itself or FM9 edit? If it's on the unit, reload your user cab back up.

The user IRs are mapped to empty user slots.So IRs are gone (empty user bank) AND the presets all has factory IRs mapped instead?
I blend Factory and user. Only the factory remains.Although, now I'm rethinking that because a missing IR should cause silence.
Just restore your backup of your user cab banks.

Thanks Moke, that's very generous. But I'm going to wait and see if it happens again. If it does, I'm at least ready for it. Considering that this has never happened to anyone before, I'm not going to assume that the unit has a unique problem because of one incident. It's just too unlikely.I have a non-turbo FM9 that you can possibly borrow for a little while if you like?
No worries, I know what a nightmare that could be for your situation. I've heard your tones live many times. You spend a ridiculous amount of effort getting them really, really close. It's part of what sets you apart from many other players. It's kind of your superpower. And having all of your IRs disappear right before a show is your kryptonite.Thanks Moke, that's very generous.

I also have had to leave the FM9 unattended for several hours after sound check on multiple occasions. I can't fathom that someone could have erased them (deliberately or inadvertently), but stranger things have happened.
I seriously doubt anyone screwed with it. I'm just grasping at straws. It feels like the hot tub scenario I mentioned above all over again. But that would be a good feature to have.I think a screen "lock" or password sequence on the FM9 has been asked in the wishlist. This might be a solution to this possible problem of accidental knob tweaking or intentional unwanted editing...
