Yeah !! Thanx Xavier..
Now, I will have to find or build a midi keyboard with BC.. Or try to convert an existing one..

Thanx Lokki, & merci Xavier..
But still, implementing the breath controller as standard CC2 would be a better option, in terms of compatibility..

Well.. For now my PreenFM is still not built, not even bought.. I'm waiting for an available kit.. Soon, I assume..
I have a 4 octave keyboard (evolution 49), it comes with 17 pots.. It has midi and USB outputs.. No input.. I also have a Roland D10 and an Ensoniq ESQ1..
What I know about the Yamaha BC1 and 2 is that they are not only the pressure-depending resistor, but also a few components.. They both using stereo mini jacks.. 1 pin is for -V,  1 pin is for ground.. The last pin is the value.. In fact, what you describe is, I assume, already built inside the BC..
But then the "value" pin is a negative one, and might need being inverted..
I've read, on a forum, that I could as well plug the ground pin to +V and the -V pin to ground, it would work..
Not sure, though..
In fact, I believe it true, except that I'm afraid for the eventual ICs.. Would they accept it ?? Nu stiu.. No lo se.. Ich weiss nicht.. Je ne sais pas.. Mi ne scias..

But ok for CC2..

Hello there..
Sorry.. I did not check the forum for a while, and thus didn't see there were answers..
For now, I have a Yamaha BC1 and also a Yamaha BC2..  Sure they are not young.. But doesn't BC mean Before Christ, after all ??
So.. Of course, in my case, implementing the control would not be enough, I would have to find some circuitry able to convert the analog data, into midi data..
They both are just resistor reacting on pressure..
CC2 ?? It's ok for me.. But is there not a midi code special to this control, anterior to CC numbers ??
According to my experience, breath controllers are of some interest on analog synths.. But much more powerful with FM synthesis..

Hello there..
Any possibility to have PreenFM2 responding to breath controller midi messages ??
I guess it's not harder to implement, than the mod wheel..
Is it possible to have it implemented so that it would appear as one source in the modulation matrix ??
I suppose, but maybe I'm wrong, that it should be as simple as duplicating the line corresponding to the mod wheel, and then replace the mod wheel identification code, by the breath controller identification code..
Then probably one line to add, so that it's visible in the matrix ??
Is it possible ??
Friendly..

Ok.. Thanx Xavier..
So I suppose I should better buy a complete kit..
But what is the price of the without-box-without-screen partial kit ?? And is it without knobs too ??

OK.. You have my mailbox, I suppose ??
If I clearly understood, the nice blue screen is noisy, and the less nice yellow one is silent, right ??
So I'd better chose the yellow one.. And the full kit comes with ?? The blue ?? The yellow ??

Hello hello hello there..
So.. September is now back, and I still want one..
Is there any way I can buy the full kit, without the box ?? Or to simply buy the PCB ??
Or any other solution
Thanx in advance..

Hello..
Thanx for your post..
I already contacted tubeohm a few days ago, but André told me he was only selling fully built models, not spare parts..
Thanx anyway..
Have a nice day.. Or evening or night..

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Anyone is wanting to sell back his used PreenFM1 ???

« on: July 24, 2016, 10:46:44 PM »

(I know this is the PreenFM2 sub-forum, but as I am not sure that anyone will still read the PrennFM1 subforum, I thought it was clever to post my message here..)

I was wondering.. does anyone want to sell back his used PreenFM1 ??
Or would like to trade it ?
What I can offer in return is..
Well, I have an used (of course) Yamaha TX81Z..
Or.. I also could propose an used (of course) Alesis HR16B drum machine (needs some repair on one slider..)..
what else ?? Oh, yes.. I don't suppose that you want a Roland RA30 expander.. Or a Yamaha QX5 sequencer.. But maybe, you would be interested by the lot (RA30 PLUS QX5) ??

I live in France.. It's good to know, because of shipping costs..

Have a nice time..
Thierry

Ok.. Thanx for your answer.. I think the wiser will be to accept this long waiting..
Have a good day or night..

Thanx Lokki..
Oh yes, I dind't realize that probably, I needed to have an account on mouser, before editing the list.. Thanx for poiting your finger on my lazy brain..
The board..?? But the board can be purchased here, no ?
http://ixox.fr/shop/
And btw, also the preenf405.. (But when you're sure that the CR402-GB-450 is totally compatible, I don't care, I would call it PreenFM anyway..

The other missing part is http://www.mouser.fr/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=1-2199299-5virtualkey57100000virtualkey571-1-2199299-5..
Sure, not difficult to find a replacement item for that one..

(Ok, I will tell the robot, once again, that one plus one is two.. And he will forget again, and ask me once again next time..)

Hello there..
First of all, un grand merci à Xavier pour sa création, que je connais encore trop mal, mais dont j'ai cru comprendre qu'elle est de qualité..
So.. I want to buy/build/use/cherish a Preenfm2.. How must I  proceed..
I must buy the board.. Ok..
I must buy the preenf405.. Ok, but where ??
I must buy the components from there :
https://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=7947c1face
Ok.. But the list has errors.. One component is only delivered by groups of 16 (the opto coupler) and one is no more available.. And I don't know how to correct it (how to edit the listing/order form).. Est-ce que Xavier pourrait la mettre à jour ?? Merci d'avance..

Have a nice time, and enjoy the sun..
Thierry
