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.

![]() | Factory Presets v9.00Apr 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. | Download |
