PreenFM2 More Waveforms Like the Ableton Live Operator?
« on: January 16, 2014, 09:22:23 AM »
Hi PreenFM2 Community!
It is possible to add more waveforms in PreenFM2 like the Ableton Operator e.x. Saw D?

I don't think Operator is a classic FM synth, it looks more like a hybrid of analogue style synthesis and FM.

That's not to say that more waveforms aren't possible, but you aren't going be able to directly replicate the sounds of Operator with a Preen.

Proper FM has algorithms, early FM modes on analogue synths were just using one oscillator to modulate another. Looks like that is what Operator does?

Don't know about Operator.

But the preenFM2 wavetables are in the fast access memory of the MCU.
The available 64kB  are already full.

how can make the saw d wave into preen fm to make a dub stabs?

how can make the saw d wave into preen fm to make a dub stabs?

1 - Get the PreenFM code on github.
2 - Get one cycle of the "saw d" wave,  turn it into a C float array of 1024 or 2048 values between -1.0 and 1.0.
3 - Modify the wave.c files and replace one of the waveforms buy yours.
4- recompile and flash the new firmware

Easy ? No ;-)

its not easy for me i suppose, i don't know how can change the waves from source code!  :-\

It's not easy true. If you can get the source to compile locally then I'm sure it would be possible for someone to produce a patch to modify the firmware.

But you would have to lose a standard waveform to replace it with the new one, your firmware would then be incompatible with presets (not always such a bad thing ;) ).

To be honest, FM is less about the starting point (the waveform) and more about modifying the waveform with modulators and algorithms.

It seems Operator is concerned with filtering waveforms and applying some FM, which is close to the subtractive way of making sounds.

That's not the hardest point.
Give me the table required in step 2 and i can compile it for you.

Expected format can be seen here :
https://github.com/Ixox/preenFM2/blob/master/waveforms/waves.c

You'll have to investigate and work on your own for this step 2.

Operator is kinda improved 4OP FM with ability to draw your own WF




+ Filter

I think that having 6 ops instead of 4 you can freely mimick Saw D with  2 OPs somehow

SwD looks like ordinary Saw WF

Perhaps someone can create a little Java app that lets you draw a waveform and the output is a C data required?

thanks all for your answer!
kuzma_p you have way to make the SawD WF with PreenFM2?

Hi everybody,

I transcribed waveform sawD under the agreed form (1024 values):
