preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Linking/chaining two (or more) PreenFM2s?

« on: April 28, 2020, 09:45:13 AM »

Sorry if this was asked before but search doesn't give any relevant results on 'linking' or 'chaining'.

Purely hypothetically, if I MIDI chain two (or more) PreenFM2s and enable sending out CCs and NRPMs, will the second one respond to edit changes from the first one? I.e. will editing Instrument 1 be mirrored on the second unit?

Thanks for any insights!

I'm toying with the idea of chaining two units to get more MPE voices, using the same patches on all timbres/Instruments.

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / [Resolved in 2.05B4] Pitchbend response?

« on: June 12, 2016, 09:00:10 AM »

Hi,

I've built my second PreenFM2 kit, this time no single issue. Thanks to Xavier and Van Daal Electronics!

I'm using it with Linnstrument which allows Pitchbends up/down to +24/-24 semitones. My finding is that PreenFM2 has non-linear Pitchbend response. It bends down much faster then bending up from center position.

My setting in Modulation matrix:
Pitchbend > 10.00 > o*Fq

Linnstrument Pitchbend setting:
+-12 semitones (I've tried 10 semitones and other values too but not getting me any closer)

I still have to experiment more with this. Could it be that the operator's frequency (PB * Matrix multiplier) just doesn't correspond to any musical intervals (i.e. notes)?

Is there a way to set the Pitchbend response to a standard musical range in semitones?

How exactly is the Pitchbend value coming from the controller used in the Modulation matrix formula?

Thanks a lot in advance for any insights.

P.S.: PreenFM2 already is awesome with expressive possibilities of Linnstrument! FM comes alive under your fingers (Velocity+ModWheel + Aftertouch on every single pad!)

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / [SOLVED] Finished PreenFM2 - not booting

« on: July 06, 2014, 02:00:17 AM »

Hi,
it's late here. I've finished the mainboardand, all chips are in, JMP3 is free, USB stick is formated to FAT32 and contains pfm2 folder with hopefully all files (as extracted from .zip). After plugging the USB the LED's blink shortly and display shows only yellow rectangles. Same behavior when USB stick is unplugged. I guess it's some stupid mistake on my side or something overlooked. I'll try to post pics tomorrow but perhaps sombody can give me a hint what to check. Thanks a lot in advance!
