FM9 Edit

FM9-Edit is a full-featured Mac/PC editor. You can create, view, edit, and manage presets and scenes — and much, much more.

While almost every aspect of the FM9 can be edited easily using the intuitive front panel controls, nothing is faster than working on a large monitor with a keyboard and mouse/touchpad.

View entire presets at a glance, edit blocks and parameters, copy/paste, drag and drop, and more. Speed your workflow with Templates, or use the Library to access favorite settings in one click. Easily set up all aspects of onboard footswitches or a connected FC Controller.

Unlock the full creative potential  of your FM9 with FM9-Edit, available below for free.

Download FM9 Firmware

Firmware v9.01

Compatible with FM9 Original and FM9 Turbo
Zip Archive — May 8, 2025

An updated version of FM9-Edit is required for use with this release.

An optional USB firmware upgrade (version 1.03) is included with this update. To use the MIDI Beat Clock Send option via USB you must be using USB firmware 1.03 or newer. Use Fractal-Bot to send the USB firmware update file to the FM9.

Please follow the instructions in the Firmware Update guide PDF that is included to install the firmware and Dyna-Cabs. 

New DynaCabs
A Dyna-Cab update is required if you are updating from a firmware version prior to 9.0 Beta 2. The required Dyna-Cab file is included in the zip file for this release.
If you are upgrading from version 9.0 beta 1 or older, please follow the instructions in the included Firmware Update Guide. If you are updating from 9.0 beta 2 or 9.0 you do not need to reinstall Dyna-Cabs.

Preset CPU and Factory Presets
This firmware version includes major improvements to sound quality and performance. As a result, some presets now require more CPU. Older Factory Presets may exceed 80% CPU usage, especially on the standard (non-Turbo) FM9. To address this, new Factory Presets have been created for firmware 9.0. These are not installed automatically and must be downloaded separately:

Factory Presets v9.00

Apr 23, 2025 - Zip archive

The FM9 factory presets have been updated for firmware version 9.00 or newer. This version includes major improvements to sound quality and performance. As a result, some presets now require more CPU. Older Factory Presets may exceed 80% CPU usage, especially on the standard (non-Turbo) FM9. These new presets are therefore recommended for anyone running firmware 9.0 or newer.
