I found that dumping to the PreenFM failed unless I told it that something way coming by selecting Load then Sysex.
Otherwise although it recognised that something has been received and asked me which bank to save to, when I did it was full of junk patches.

Loading a bank requires to select Load->Sysex...
Only single patch can be loaded without being in the "wait for sysex" mode.

So what you describe sounds like a bug.
I'll give a look.

Thanks for the report...
I've just uploaded a 1.72.B2 in the beta directory ;

Please could you confirm it fixed the behavior you describe ?

Thanks,

Xavier

I had some free time and created some test drum patches.  I see a whole lot of potential for FM drums. :)

Thanks....   :D
I'm currently totally overwhelmed by my real job, but that's very interesting to have some drum sound...
I'll give a try as soon as i have 10 minutes of free time ;-)

I have that clipping issue too. It seems to me like sometimes the output is too high for the audio circuits and it distorts. I'll have to record it next time I hear it. It's worse on patches with 1 voice, as that tends for some reason to also make the patch louder. :D

Have you upgraded to the latest firmware?  I haven't had any clipping since it was fixed.  Though, I think if you push the volume excessively in the mod matrix you could get some clipping.

2 good points from Funkyfli :
. The clipping problem when browsing patches should be fixed in 1.72
. To high values "multiply" in the matrix can lead to saturation/clipping/noise, but that shouldn't happen with the provided presets... Only if you modify them in a wrong way.

Hope you don't have the problem anymore with the last firmware.

Hello,
I am having trouble loading the presets on to the PreenFM. I downloaded reaper and connected via MIDI. I then created a new track and dragged and dropped the .sysx file on to the track. Then on the Preen I went to load>SysEx and it said "waiting SysEx..." I then pressed play on the track in Reaper. Nothing happened.

I am wondering if the problem may lie in the connection via MIDI. I am running through a DigiDesign M-Box 2 on Windows Vista. MIDI out (from the interface) to MIDI in (on the Preen). Is there anywhere where a detailed itinerary and directions can be found? Maybe there is a YouTube video?

Please let me know!
THANKS!!

Hello,

That's strange.. That should work.
Do you use the last firmware : 2.00 ?

Sorry, there's not detailed howto because it works like other sound module work.

If you add midi notes in the same track in Reaper, are they played by your preenFM ?

You can also try dedicated sysex manager :

Hello there!

I recently got a second hand preenfm and i'm trying to upload these 128 patches. The only problem is that after the sysex file is sent the preen keeps showing "waiting sysex..." with a second line saying "Bank:0  ##-200". moving the encoders doesn't change anything, if i press menu again a message DONE appears but the patches are nowhere to be found.

Anybody can help?  :-[ i'm a total beginner in fm synthesis so having a few more presets would be great!

i'm running firmware 2.00

thank you  :-*

OK Thanks for the confirmation :)

Seems like the sysex is sent to rapidely or not at the speed the preenfm1 expects.
Can you add some delay between ?
I think i remember C6 from electron can do that.
