CONNECTING A COMPUTER

Connecting the FX8 to a computer via USB is completely optional, but it does provide some great benefits.
Our free utilities provide a great platform for those who want to take their experience to the next level. USB
is also the best way to install firmware updates and make or restore backups.
 The first step is to connect your FX8 and computer with a USB cable (not provided).
 No driver is required. The FX8 is plug and play.
 Install Fractal-Bot™ for firmware updates, backups, and installing presets or banks you download or
keep on your computer or memory stick.
 Install FX8-Edit™ for a graphical way to work with FX8 presets.
