preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Re: User algorithm?

« on: October 15, 2021, 06:25:52 AM »

Specifically the only things that I’d do differently would be to add the ability to have an operator act as both a modulator and a carrier. It’s not super common on hardware synths, but it’s the one real thing that I’d say softsynths like FM8 have going for them over the Yamaha DX line.
The elektron digitone has this to an extent as well but the ratios with the carrier/modulator oscillators are not as flexible as they could be.

I just wanted to emphasize that I’m not trying to be a whiny bitch trying to get into a FM synth feature pissing contest, and you’ve made a thing of beauty with the preenfm3. I’m just trying to throw some ideas out there, and I’m sorry if they are shit ideas.

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / User algorithm?

« on: October 10, 2021, 08:08:11 AM »

Hey, not quite sure where else I can ask this, but is there any hope for the ability to set a user algorithm on a later edition of the preenfm3 firmware? Or is that something that would take way too much time to program in?
I’m just wondering because this is the one thing holding me back from selling my Opsix and solely utilizing the preenFM3 as my only fm synth

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Secondhand PreenFM2 repair help

Hey, so I bought this PreenFM2 off reverb, it was the right price, but it came to me kind of broken, but I got a nice partial refund and it should more than cover the cost of repairing it.

So, the first issue was that it wouldn't turn on. Like the screen would light up and then nothing would happen. But the unit does work with the usb power, so I'm thinking there must be either a bad connection or component in that part of the circuit. If y'all have any suggestions for me on that I'd be appreciative. But honestly I can live with this and it hardly affects its performance in the long run.


The second and more important issue is that the as you increase the volume by turning the volume pot, the audio increases in volume for the first 70% of the turn, then in the last 20% or so the bass followed by the rest of the signal fade out and decrease in volume.

I just sort of figured that it was the potentiometer but I really have no idea. I'm already going to change the volume pot with one i bought online, but Id really like to fix this.

Here are some videos that I made to demo the problem for the dude i bought it off.
