Oskar58 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere here. I tried to do a search and came up with nothing. I have been trying for a couple of days to factory restore the settings on my M9. I follow all the directions, but the problem is in hitting the looper button and the model select button. For some reason my timing is probably off by a fraction of a second, or it's defective. I've done this at least 100 times, and all it does is turn on the looper. Is there alternate way to factory restore this unit? A quick search of the internet shows that many others are having the same problem. Am hoping to find a solution here. thanks.

phil_m Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 If you hold down the tap button prior to pressing the model select button, you should get it to work. You have to hold down tap for less than the two seconds it takes to go to looper. It will ask you if you're sure, then you'll have to do the same thing again. The other thing you can do is to reinstall the firmware via Monkey. That will reset everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneman2121 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Factory Reset There may be times when you’d like to reset your M9 to its Factory settings. You may want to recall a particular Factory Scene, for example, or just get back to square one. To do a Factory Reset, first back up any Scenes you’d like to keep (as described above), then follow the steps on the next page. DECAY V. 2.00 THRESH CONTRAST DUMP ALL? DUMP FLDR? RST FACT? MIDI Gate Display DUMP SCNE? CH 1 • Threshold, Decay and Contrast are adjustable with Knobs 1, 4 & 2 • MIDI Channel 1 thru 16 or Omni is set with Knob 3Setup Details 2•6 • Turn the Model Select knob until “RST FACT?†is displayed. • Press and hold TAP while you press down on the Model Select knob - “Reset To Factory? Are You Sure†will be displayed. • To initiate the Factory Reset, press down on the Model Select knob again. All Factory defaults will be reset, including Scene Presets and Global settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oskar58 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 I appreciate the suggestions, but my problem is that I have followed the instrudtions to a T. The issue is that for some reason it's not recognizing the timing between hitting the Tap button followed by the Model select knob. As I've said, I've tried it at least 100 times with various timings, and nothing. It always goes into Looper mode. I did try reinstalling via Monkey, but it indicated I already had the latest Firmware, unless there's a way to override that and reinstall. So, my question is whether there is an alternate way for Factory Reset, or if there is indeed something wrong with the switches. To be honest, I found this a pretty awkward way to reset. Especially requiring such specific timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 You can reinstall the firmware in Monkey even if it says you have the latest. I don't have Monkey installed on this computer to check, but I believe the option is on the right of the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oskar58 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 I was able to reinstall the Firmware and that appears to have restored the original settings. Still didn't work by using the Tap button and Model Select knob. Something is probably not working as it should. Appreciate everyone's help here. Thanks.

danaswright Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Same problem here. I am unable to restore factory settings by hitting the Tap button then the Model Select Knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony74and26 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Problem is you are holding the tap too long before pressing the model select. So press and hold tap and immediately press model select. so just do it quickly.One or two seconds apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VALENTENET Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I had the same situation. I got the solution, I inverted the manual instructions. I first hit the model knob then the tap. Successful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
