    FM-9

    welcome. Your question is really too vague. To get a clearer answer, please ask a clearer question Please refer to the FM9 manual. It is quite extensive and answers a lot of questions people post https://www.fractalaudio.com/downloads/manuals/FM9/FM9-Owners-Manual.pdf If you are referring to...

    AM4 switches and push buttons

    Personally, I don't think human behaviour and complaining has changed much over the years. I think it's just far easier now to complain relatively anonymously over the internet, so more people have the 'courage' to do it. Especially on a forum like this where you have direct unfiltered access...

    that's great for effect blocks, but I was thinking more about a one pager kind of marketing blurb you can refer to for an overview of the current lineup.

    🔥Introducing the new AM4 Amp Modeler

    I feel like it would be helpful (especially for newbies) to have a matrix or chart comparing all the different current Fractal products (fm3/fm9/axefxiii/vp4/am4) and the key components (hardware, software, i/o, etc.) that set them apart to make the buying decision and support questions clearer...
