preenfm2 and preenfm3 / FM3 freezing/ lock up glitch

« on: June 05, 2023, 06:46:08 PM »

I'm finding that I've I go to load a patch immediately after powering up and go to edit it, my fm3 freezes and locks up. It won't do anything until I unplug it and plug it back in.

If I turn on the unit and move around the menus a bit before loading a patch, it works fine.

Running firmware 1.0

Anyone else finding this?

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Any hints on figuring out the fm3 sequencer?

« on: June 04, 2023, 12:35:04 AM »

Had my fm3 running for a week now and I love it. It's immediately found a permanent place in my setup.

I've learned a lot from reading through the fm2 manual and just spending time poking around, but for the life of me I cannot figure out anything to do with the sequencer. I am completely lost.

Does anyone know if there's any threads or documentation that can point me in the right direction? I'm always happy to RTFM but I can't even find a starting point.

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Anyone else recently bought a faceplate from the store....

« on: May 21, 2023, 03:01:00 PM »

And found that the holes for the buttons are too small to fit the buttons through? Maybe .5mm too small all the way around.

Thought I'd finished the build successfully but bummed to find out that I can't use the faceplate without filing the cutouts to fit the buttons. Worried I'll end up with wonky gaps if not extremely careful.

Any advice from anyone who's had to do this already?

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Question about parts order for fm3 build from a new member

« on: May 09, 2023, 10:29:22 AM »

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum so apologies if this is a question that's been asked before and I've missed it.
I'm going to be building an FM3, I've ordered the 2.x PCBs and faceplate from Xavier, a 3d printed case from a guy on fiverr and a screen from AliExpress. I'm just putting together my mouser cart for everything else and just wanted to check- do the PCBs and faceplate include all the headers and standoffs needed for the build?
My mouser cart right now has the audio and DC jacks, usb connector, midi dins, buttons and caps, encoders and knobs. Mouser's delivery fees can make a missing header a very expensive item so just thought I'd double check on here, hope that's ok.
Thanks for your time
