    A great synth but there needs to be a user manual especially for newbies!
    Thanks.

    Kubrak thanks!
    Tony Jones - I didn't need to click on a "more" just downloads which was inset into the pik at the top. At first my browser didn't load that part so I couldn't see it.

    OK so this manual is 2006. I'm trying to find out why clicking in the rating column does nothing. Is it working for you guys or am I missing something about what its purpose is?

    FM8 Manual Addendum English.pdf (2011)
    page 9
    upload_2021-7-26_17-28-18.png

    So it shows ratings and colours from older presets.
    But you can't choice new settings. IMO

    EDIT:
    With a right click on a preset it copies to MyFavorites

    Paule thankyou! :thumbsup:
    Yep, already worked out the right click gives you a favourite. Ive only skimmed through the 2006 manual, but I never saw any addendum anywhere from your Link. Was that on the same page?

    No, NI gives you the older manual from 2006 and forgets that there are 3 manuals 2006, 2009, 2011.
    FM8 Getting Started English (2009) is the third one.
    In later times users got the manuals with the download.

    OK so I checked (again) :
    FM8 standalone > help <.................> <- insert in here a big fat nothing...just go online
    Load KK and see if its there in its documentation - same deal.
    Go to the actual Applications area and here they all are in all their glory in other languages as well. o_O

    So how do I get these to show up from FM8s own interface?

    A right click in the menue line gives you the possibility to choice which columns are shown.
    As Rating and Color are always the same don't show it.

    My docs are in this folder. I'm on pc win7
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Native Instruments\FM8\Documentation

    Paule, Jojo123 wants to access the manuals from FM8 itself. This is not possible anymore.

    So I'm happy to don't update a running FM8.
    Mario, please give a tip to FM8 builders for the two missing manuals from 2009 and 2011 to complete the dl. Thank you.
