my appreciation and suggestions

what a nice looking machine.  i love the display!  and the white knobs...   :o  the way the editor is set up is very nice and easy to get around.  i would say that this is probably the easiest fm synth interface i can imagine, having used a few.  bravo on the matrix and the first 4 multipliers as destinations... that makes this thing a monster.  i am only using at most 2 lfos per voice and it already sounds very animated!  i can imagine using this in many synth capacities.  i may want another one (in which case im in luck, i have 2 more unassembled) because this would make sense for so many elements in my music.  i think this is a very good value for a kit.  the sound is simply gorgeous!  i need no other fm hardware, this will do incredibly nicely!

one thing i would love to see however is a phase control for the lfos that was controllable over midi cc

i would also like to be able to set the lfo shape with midi cc.

perhaps the bias setting as well?

any chance of a simple delay in place of the filter?

fold over distortion from that old thread might be nice too...  i can see the need for another pfm2  ;D

Xavier:

Thanks a lot for the nice words... Much much appreciated  :)

1 & 5 : I don't get what you mean.
2 & 3 : These two could be easily done. But cannot you use NRPN ? they're accessible through NRPNs.
4 :  No, a delay requires a good amount of memory. The preenfm2 chipset does not have that.

Thanks

LFO start phase just lets you start the LFO from another point besides the 0 degree phase offset position of the cycle.  Very useful in sound design/wobble creation.  highly useful for making grooves based on tempo synced LFOs.  (it would be nice to control the lfo separately from the voice, but i realize that is too much to ask)

any distortion based FX or even distortion>filter FX would be welcome...  funkyfli made a fold over distortion hack:  http://ixox.fr/forum/index.php?topic=63477.msg65336#msg65336  speaking of filter FX...  have you ever considered a dual mode filter?  this is where the bottom half of the sweep is a low pass and the top half is high pass...  this plus the bias setting would make for interesting sounding filter sweeps.

i would like to request as many matrix destinations as possible if there are more possible such as LFO bias or parameters other than frequency cutoff in the filter.

NRPN is cool but my favorite sequencer doesnt use them, only CC messages.  im talking about Zaquencer:  https://zaqaudio.com/

are there any user banks around?

also:  how do you make an image display at a size that will fit in the page?

Xavier:
1. Haha.. i read several times and each time i read "phrase controle" :) (with the aditional R).
Adding a phase controle to the LFO is a good idea.. But i have to think how to make it fit nicely in the UI without breaking the navigation. Not sure it's possible though.

5. I Must have a better look  at funkyfly  fold over distortion hack.

I also want to have as many matrix targets as possible. The problem is that many parameters requires a modification (can be CPU heavy) only when the parameter changes. With the matrix the modification will be required all the time which is not nice on the CPU. For you info the current CPU usage with maximum polyphony and FX is very close to 100%.
That's also the reason why it's not possible to add heavier FX than the one that exists.

I resized the image adding width=800 in the img tags did the trick.

There are a couple of URL at the bottom of http://ixox.fr/preenfm2/download/

what do you think of the dual mode filter idea?  that shouldnt take up more cpu than the current filter models i think...  and as long as there is memory available, i figure it could probably work.

for navigation, couldnt you just add another page so you need to click one more time to get through the loop?  i think phase control of the lfos is worth an extra click... 

hey how about a randomize button like sammich fm?

btw even without these things i think its a great instrument.
