FM9 Manual updates for FW4?

[GuitarEC]

Does anyone know if there will be an updates manual released for FW 4.x? My FM9 is due to arrive Friday, and I'm wanting to get a copy of the manuals/documentation printed ahead time.

These are what you'll want…

• FM9 Owner’s Manual
• Fractal Audio Blocks Guide
• Fractal Audio Footswitch Functions Guide
• FC-12 & FC-6 Owner’s Manual is useful with the FM9 since it's basically the FM3+FC6 switches.
• Setlists/Songs Mini Manual is available separately or is included in the modeler's manual.
• Fractal-Bot Manual is useful because Fractal-Bot is embedded inside the Tools menu in the Edit application, and knowing what it can do is important.
• Yek's Guide to the Fractal Audio Amplifier Models and Guide to the Fractal Audio Drive models.

I'd recommend not printing, but instead keeping the PDFs on your computer, phone and/or tablet so they can easily and quickly be searched wherever you are also; I have them open many times a day searching for something and searching is my friend.

Fractal updates them periodically so if you print you'll be in a periodic print cycle or have stale documentation. Typically they update them when there's a big firmware change but there's not a fixed schedule.

I want to print initial manual set (I'm more of a "book-in-hand" guy when possible),but will have the soft-copies of updates later.

If I could only choose one, it would be the PDF version. But there will always be a soft place in my heart for this rare Fractal case candy...
