preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Issues in communicating with the Preenfm2
« on: July 16, 2022, 09:29:33 PM »
Hi, I'm new to the preenFM2, I built one this week.
So far when playing the instrument , all looks fine. Now I want to take it one step further and build a controller for it using the Electra One device https://electra.one/.
To make this happen, I want to set up all communications with NRPN's as much as possible.
But I have things going wrong:
- I may have a faulty DIN-midi out. How can I test this to be sure ?
In the mean time I kept testing using USB MIDI , so I set USB MIDI to In/Out, Receive to CC&NRPN and Send to NRPN. Sure enough when I now tweak 'Alg' or 'Velo' on the Engine screen, I see the NRPN data being transmitted as a series of 4 CC messages : 99,98,6 and 38.
- When I send the same NRPN instruction from the Electra One into the preenfm2, it does so according to a standard rule that transmits 6 CC messages: the same 99,98,6 , 38 and then followed by the two RPN reset instructions 101 with value 127, and 100 with value 127. I can see the preenfm2 respond to the NRPN instructions, but the preenfm2 immediately turns silent after receiving this row with 6 CC's. Rebooting the preenfm2 is the only workaround found so far. What is causing this?
