It hasn’t  happened in 2 hours when using presets made on the unit today as opposed to old presets, this is why I though it could be that

So doing the + and - didn’t do anything when it goes white, TFT reint auto doesn’t stop it. And I have used 2 power sources, a usb brick and a plug in extension power supply that also has usb power strip on it.

I have also included a picture of the corruption of the characters when using own wav, If a separate bug?

Cheers

Hi Xavier

Unfortunately it’s come back.

I have  resoldered  the TFT to the board now and it still happens. Sometimes after an hour sometimes with only after 5 mins?

What else do you think it could be? I tried a new SD card in it. I’m wondering if it caused from presets from my preenFM 2? Some presets also have user wavs in them which I transferred across also.

Also when I selected a user wave all the characters went a bit funny on the screen? Not sure if this helps?

I’m testing with just a newly created preset using only sin wav

Let’s see how this goes...

I think i have fixed it but time will tell....

I didn't want to unsolder the pins from the TFT as Vandall suggests in his guide so used header that i can plug the screen into. I think this was having a little movement until I  bolted the screen to the PCB with some spacers.

Seems ok for the time being.

Hi Xavier

Thanks for the quick reply.

So after some head scratching the second problem is fixed. It’s somewhat related to the first problem  .

I followed Vandaals guide but there’s some stuff missing. So first problem was that I missed soldering the 3.5/5v header for on the TFT VCC. The second problem was the Jumper on this was a bit loose and and losing connection making the screen go funny. I pushed the pins apart a little to give the jumper a tight fit. Seems ok now for 40 mins.

Cheers
Jamie

I have a new bug now,

After a while the screen goes white, I can still hear and use the device but can’t see the screen.

Sometimes it comes back but fuzzy?

Any ideas

Hi

I have built a PreenFM3, I have flashed it it in DFU mode but after switching jumper back it will only boot to a white screen?

I followed Van daal guid as I got it from him, the only difference I can see is he only soldered two pins where the two boards meat ( see picture ) but the guide on this site shows all pins soldered.

Kind Regards

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Cant seen the text on black case

« on: January 28, 2021, 01:19:44 AM »

Hi

I have a preenfm2 with the black fronted plexi case. I cant see the writing in the dark.

Does anyone have any tips on how to make the recessed writing whiter?

Thanks

Hi Xavier

Is the preenfm2 (latest board R6)

I’m using a Jack to headphone adapter see attached picture.

If I set the other 3 instruments to 0 voices this is as loud as it gets. If I set them to 3 each it gets quieter which what I would expect?

The loudest I get it is one instrument set to one voice but then it still not as loud as say my volca fm or craft synth both running off batteries.

Hi

My preenfm2 R6 is quiet, I really notice this when using headphones. Is this normal?

Cheers

Hi Xavier

Sorry, yeah R6. It’s on lots of presets with single key press when browsing and will always happen when playing chords on browsing. After loading the patches I been setting the voices to 6 or above and this fixes the problem.

Do you need me to send some presets over still?

Kind regards
Jamie

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / [Fixed in 2.20] Preenfm2 Distortion

« on: October 25, 2020, 11:56:20 AM »

Hi

I’m getting distortion on presets which I have linked back to voice amount and sometimes filter gain.

The distortion goes when I increase the amount of voices per instrument. My question is how do I stop the distortion when browsing presets as the voice count seems to drop back to default for the instrument?
