FM9 Synthpads and drones

This Fractal Audio FM9 pack for firmware 2.02 (latest version included : firmware 9.00) has 40 presets (and 9 user cabs) using the Synth block for drones and chords, over which you can play leads. The chords are selected by scenes (each scenes selects a different chord), except in a few presets where the changes are automated, or controlled by the expression pedal 1.

Some of the presets are set to play the following songs : Another brick in the wall pt 1 & Shine on you crazy diamond (Pink Floyd), Where the streets have no name (U2), Song of the wind (Santana), Black star & Icarus dream suite opus 1 (Yngwie Malmsteen), Hotel California (Eagles), Little wing (Jimi Hendrix, but modern version, à la Steve Lukather), Epilogue for Lisa (Shawn Lane). Others have common chord changes. Most presets are for standard tuning but a few are duplicates, for guitars in Eb (which is how I tune my own guitars).

Here’s a demo of the “Epilogue for Lisa” preset, recorded with the Axe-Fx III version :
