Bug? Volume issues using Exp and Per Preset changing saved settings

[Edrod]

I'm experiencing the same issues that @hubula is with the per preset fc feature.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or what I'm doing wrong. I'm running the latest Cygnus and FM3-Edit. We have our first gig coming this weekend since COVID. I started investing more time on my presets to make it work in the live environment.

Issue #1
I added a volume pedal to control the overall volume of my preset. As I was editing last night, everything seemed to be working. When I turned on my unit today, I noticed I did not have audio. I finally figured out that the expression pedal and vol block weren't in synch. After troubleshooting I couldn't figure out what was causing it. So I did a reset in the Vol block by redoing my settings. Then it went back to normal, unfortunately, I have to do this every time I restart the FM3.

Issue # 2
I started using the Per-Preset FC option. I use it to bypass an effect on certain presets. I use the Layout 3 - Switches 1 as followed.

Drive - Delay - Reverb

I kept noticing that it keept defaulting the switches to

Tuner - Trem Pan 1 - Delay 1

In order to fix this, I have to go to FM3 edit and click on Layout 3 - Switches 1. Then it changes it to Drive - Delay - Reverb. I also noticed that I changes Switch 3 to black (PerPrst #2).

Thank you for the report and the videos, @Edrod. Can you please provide your "System + FC" backup from Fractal-Bot and an example preset or two?

 

[Edrod]

Thank you for replying so quick @BryantP

I did 2 different backups, one for before using FM3-Edit and after using FM3-Edit (which fixes the issues). This is happening to presets 1-4.

Thank you for the files. We'll take a look as soon as we get a chance.

@BryantP I'm not sure if this will give you more info. So the values of the Vol modifier will change with just inserting the expression pedal on the pedal jack of the FM3. I did a quick video, I hope it helps.

Has calibration been done when that pedal is connected to PEDAL2?

 

[Edrod]

@BryantP I had calibrated the pedal a few months ago when I received the ev2. I haven't messed with it since. I went back to recalibrate as you suggested, and it seems to have solved that issue

I haven't found a solution for the Per-Preset issue other than the go into FC controllers - Layout - 3. Then it changes it automatically for me.

Glad to hear it!

We will take a look at this.

6.24.21 Update - Back to the same with the expression pedal. After restarting, the values changed and I can only calibrate to 3/4 of the full range of motion

Okay, thanks. We will look at it.

Good afternoon @BryantP

I downloaded the new firmware. Was this issue addressed by any chance? In order to make it work I have to open Axe eidt and click on FC controllers. The click on effects on my FM3 in order for the correct switches to show up.

Kind regards

Hi @Edrod, sorry to say that we didn't get to this one yet.

 

[Edrod]

@BryantP thank you for the update. Hopefully on the next, i really appreciate all the hard work

 

[Edrod]

@BryantP Just wanted to follow up to see if this is still in the works?

 

[BryantP]

Sorry, @Edrod. I'll look at this this week. Thanks for bringing it back to my attention!

@BryantP thank you so much for looking into this. Hoping for fix

 

[BryantP]

Apologies again, @Edrod . I was out most of last week. I did take a look at Issue #2 and I'm not seeing any per-preset overrides defined in your presets (I looked at the startup preset (002) and several others. A preset must be saved after adding overrides (from FM3-Edit or from the front panel).

I did notice that for the EFFECTS switch in the startup layout in the uploaded configuration (Layout 4, View 1, Switch 3) goes to Layout 3, View 4. I think it is meant to go to Layout 3, View 1. Please find an attached, updated configuration that I hope helps (created with FM3 firmware 5.02).

I will look at the volume issue next.

I haven't been able to reproduce this issue. Did you still have this problem on firmware 5.02? If so, which settings do you redo to bring the volume back?
