    4. Please turn off the LOOPBACK function when talking with others online using a microphone.

  4. External software plugin effects
    1. Set up connections as you desire, following the guidelines in this manual. If you are using a high-impedance instrument (guitar/bass), please use Input 2 and turn on the INST function.
    2. Ensure the input signal is not too low or clipping (too high). (Refer to the PEAK section instructions)
    3. Please rotate the MIX to the far right and turn off the LOOPBACK function.
    4. Turn on the effect module and begin playing!
    Notice:
    1. Please turn off the LOOPBACK function before turning on external software plugin effects while USB audio monitoring to prevent any feedback noise.
    2. If you can only monitor the dry signal or the dry signal mixed with effect signal, please check that the MIX knob is set all the way to the right (100%).
    3. If there is no output signal, please check that the GAIN and VOL levels of each channel, the VOL of each output channel, and the USB LEVEL are set to the correct values.

*Notice: When connecting to a smart phone or tablet, please use the USB Type-C port to power the FM10. Sometimes the mobile device cannot offer enough power for the Fm10.
