preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Buzzing

« on: October 12, 2022, 11:36:52 AM »

Hey,

When I plug my Preen Fm2 into my computer via usb it makes a buzzing noise, very loudly, the synth becomes practically unusable. If I power it with a different power source the buzzing stops but I can no longer us midi over usb.

Can anyone think of what is causing this ?

Thanks

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Preen Fm2 Ableton issues

« on: August 05, 2022, 07:17:51 PM »

Hey y'all,

I just purchased a preen fm2 and am struggling to get it to work through Ableton. I am using midi over usb (I have turned it to In/Out in the settings) and have plugged the usb into my (Windows) computer. Whilst I can select the preen fm2 as an external device to send midi to it is not playing the sound through Ableton. The unit works fine I am just a bit stumped as to what is going wrong.

The algo numbers flash when I press down on keys so it is receiving midi, how do I get it back out into Ableton?

In the Ableton manual it says when using midi over usb I need to select the device as an audio device, is there a driver I need for my computer?

I am yet to try a different DAW to see if it is an Ableton problem. I hope someone can help but I appreciate this might not even be a problem with the Preen itself and so may be difficult to answer! All suggestions welcome, I'm really stumped as to what to try next!

Cheers!
