it will not function correctly. Back up any custom program files you want to keep
before updating the firmware. If you do not want to lose any edits made using the
PARAMETER and EDIT dials then you must manually make a note of these as
these are not stored as part of the program data - they are stored on the pedal slots
themselves.
Note: Following a firmware update from a pre-v3 version to v3.60, the Tune Base will
not be at 440 Hz and so the Tuner will show "incorrect" pitch values. You must reset
the Tune Base. You can do this by performing a RESET ALL or by manually setting
the Tune Base to 440 Hz (or any other desired value). (See the section on the
Menu for how to do either of these things.)
(An alternative way to update your pedal's firmware via the Editor Suite is detailed in

● Can I play chords on the FI, is it polyphonic?
These are really two separate questions. The FI cannot respond to polyphonic input,
that is, you cannot play chords on your guitar and have the FI synthesize them. The
FI responds only to monophonic input pitches. You can however play chords using
the FI in the sense of being able to set the oscillators to different pitches to give a
polyphonic output. With the clever use of Flexi Controllers routed to oscillator pitches,
you can even change the chord quality on the fly.
If you are using the FI purely as a substitute for a single-effect pedal such as chorus,
distortion, flanger, etc. (where the synthesizer section is not in use) then of course
you can play with full chordal input. You can also use full chordal input if the
synthesizer note is currently being held via the
● Where have all the "bass" sliders gone?
As already mentioned, though the FI was originally a pedal for bass guitar, since
v3.00 it can be used with a variety of instruments, thus we deemed it necessary to
change the names of the "BASS" sliders to "INSTR" (instrument) to reflect this. Rest
assured, they function in exactly the same way as they did before.
● My Tuner is out of tune - how can I fix it?
Following a firmware update from a pre-v3 version to v3.60 (or any earlier v3
version), the Tune Base will not be at 440 Hz and so the Tuner will show "incorrect"
pitch values. You must reset the Tune Base. You can do this by performing a RESET
ALL or by manually setting the Tune Base to 440 Hz (or any other desired value).

● How do I set a custom window size of the Editor?
Move the mouse cursor to the lower-right corner of the Editor Suite window. When
the mouse cursor changes to a two-way arrow, click and hold the left mouse button
then drag the arrow to set the Editor Suite window to the desired size.
