FM9 : blank/dead switches in View 2

[TubeStack]

Put props to you for only working with the box! I rely an editor heavily.

Haha, thanks! I was actually making quick edits to my drives while the band was still playing at practice, diving into layouts and menus… was proud of myself…

I would call Fractal tomorrow and talk to support over the phone. They can walk you through it, and if it’s not a software problem, initiate a repair (or likely, exchange).

I was able to get them working, although not in a Per Preset way.

I went into Setup > FC Controllers/Onboard Switches and the EZ tab and was able to assign/activate them there. Just means they're the same across all presets, but that works for what I'm doing.

Very cool - at least you have a working solution now…

Hot take: FAS switching is overcomplicated. Please don't hate me.

I think the switches are overly hyped.

Absolute shocker

On that topic: I'm really digging the Hold and Toggle functions, coming from L6-land.

When I set the FM9T to have my Keeley Fuzz Head with a Tap and a the Fractal Octavia fuzz added on/off with a Hold on the same switch, I smiled with glee.

Why would they add a second view but only make three switches in that view assignable? Am I missing something here? That seems like a waste of the other 5 switches (if 1 is reserved to get back to view 1)

Is it to keep it compatible with the FC12? This is one area where I was always too dumb for Fractal

I think it’s simple arithmetic; dividing 12

"Let's cripple our product for compatibility!"

too dumb for Fractal

That's going to be my new sig.
