PreenFM > preenfm2 and preenfm3
MIDI Channels and sequencing PreenFM with external sequencer
quadutol:
Hi,
I just got my PreenFM and I love it! 8) I have question though.....
I have a Novation Circuit and I want to sequence the PreenFM with it. On the Circuit, Synth 1 is MIDI Channel 1 and Synth 2 is MIDI Channnel 2. For synth #1 on the Circuit I can play/sequence the PreenFM with no issues. But on Synth 2 of the Circuit (MIDI Channel 2 in this case) I hear nothing. Here is what I did and figured it would work but it didn't.
Load Save >Tools
>Set Crea Ren Scala
Midi Ch. 2: 2
I figured that would get the Preen to listen on Channel 2 of the Circuit but nothing happens. Any ideas?
lokki:
that should work yes.
1)are you sure you are sending something on channel 2? can you check with another synth/software?
2)do you have any sound loaded in the i2 slot on the preenfm? i think by default, there is nothing loaded there.
Xavier:
There should be a default preset.
My guess is that the number of voice of instrument 2 (midi channel 2) is set to 0.
If not, do you see a '2' showing up on midi note on ?

For the Circuit it states:
This is set up as per the key below.
Synth 1 = MIDI channel 1
Synth 2 = MIDI channel 2
Drums 1 to 4 = MIDI channel 10
FWIW, here is the link to the Circuit info: https://support.novationmusic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206857899-Using-Circuit-to-sequence-external-MIDI-instruments
From what I've gathered there is no way to change the channel on each instrument so I'm fairly certain Synth #2 on the Circuit is listening on MIDI Channel 2.
When I switch over to Synth 2 on the Circuit I see the number 2 flashing in the right top corner when I press a note and that happens regardless if I set it to Midi Ch. 2: 2 in the settings menu. I"m a beginner so I bet it's something simple. :)
edit/update: I also just noticed if change the MIDI Channel on the PreenFM to MIDI 2 it still plays on MIDI Channel 1 of the Circuit, not sure if that is what's suppose to happen or not...figured I'd mentioned it. So, synth 1 on MIDI Channel one plays and sequences the PreenFM regardless of what MIDI channel it's on I assume.
lokki:
just one quick confirmation,
are you aware that the setting is twofold? the preenfm is 4 part multitimbral, so you set midich1 to a channel and midich2 to a channel (via the rightmost encoder).
the notes sent on channel 1 should still sound when midich2:2 is enabled, but they should only go to channel:1.
so to summarize you can set the preenfm2 to for example:
midich1:1
midich2:2
midich3:10
midich4:6
this would play your synth 1 on preenfmchannel1, synth 2 on preenfmchannel2 and drums 1 to 4 on preenfmchannel3 (which does not make much sense)
i hope this helps!
if you see the 2 flashing on the preenfm2 that means that channel two eceived a note and it indeed has to be either no preset loaded or voice number set to zero. try loading a (different) preset in voice 2 or adjust voice number
