Model details
The following are details about a few late-breaking models and features that were
implemented in the current M9 firmware. These were the result of customer requests, as
well as features the development team wanted to add in the final months of development.
Tap-based FX
Many guitarists who use time-based FX like to set their delay times to a note value relative
to the song tempo, as opposed to setting delay times in milliseconds. This has been
included in the M9 as Tap-based FX. To set your delay time to tap tempo, turn Knob 1 to
the far right and you’ll see a quarter note symbol in the LCD. Change it to any note value
you like. Now tap the desired tempo and your time-based effect will sync to it. Your note
value is persistent, so when you scroll through other FX it will be retained. To set your
delay time to ms, turn Knob 2 to the right again and you’ll return to Time-based mode.
Fine-Tune Mode
Fine-Tune Mode makes it easy to fine-tune just about any FX parameter in the M9. To
fine-tune a parameter, simply press and hold TAP then turn the knob for the parameter
you want to fine-tune.
For example, when you’re in Time-based mode, you may want to fine-tune your delay time
to an exact number. This may be necessary to match a song’s tempo, or to set up precise
stereo delays, to 240 ms L and 480 ms R for example. Here’s how to do it:
• Adjust Knob 1 to set the L delay time close to the desired value.
• Press and hold the Tap switch and turn Knob 1 again to enter Fine-tune mode.
• Now fine-tune your L delay time to the ms with Knob 1 - repeat with Knob 3 for R.
