preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Re: curved envelope segments or parameter response curves

you people tell me what my big crime is?  how was i offensive?  and then you can just fuck off.  is the complaint that i am ’often’ offensive?  so tell me what was offensive here and then you can piss off!  and shove your synth up your ass!  seriously i dont give a fuck about your feelings!  and i know you want to sell more, given the state of employment and inflation and politics so shove that up your ass too!  you dont understand me?. well understand that.  stay stuck in the past, i dont fucking care honestly. i dont need your piece of shit synth!

and im not surprised you dont get it.  you dont get much and im always stuck explaining shit to you.  so be old and lame, stuck in the 90s with your dx clone with half stepping features that belong in the last century!  turn on steve windwood and call it a day.

when was the last time you did any sound design?  never.  thats why its not important to you and why you dont see anything as a game changer.  any real game changer would be way too much for you, this is just a game changer with training wheels.  but you dont need it, and wont ever use it so the point is moot!  youll never get any closer to needing detailed feature on your noisemaker, because you never design anything of consequence and you wont begin anytime soon.

yall sure make the case for pasty nerd in basement with synth needs way to get back at the world who forced him down there in earlier life lol

lets get something straight, i choose PreenFM3 and i have voted with my money, my time and my interest.  i would like to use it further the way i use my gear and ill make a comment in promotion of ideas i have.  if that upsets you, well, its not my fault.  i dont see anyone else speaking up.  why not?  sometimes those extra functions make something easy to work with which is what does it for the lasting reputation of a favorite synth.  synths that are intuitive and meet the user most of the way just speak for themselves and there are too many that just dont go the distance.

i wouldnt say anything if i didnt care as the saying goes

no matter what i do or say im rude. so be it!  i dont care if you think so, what this thing needs is what it needs, no matter who says it or how they say it.

blah blah one man show for fuck sake spare me and just go back to your safe corner where everything is understood and nobody needs any features to make it do something cool.  making it cool isnt the point after all?  its…. i havent figured it out honestly.  what is the point of this whole line of synthesizers?  and is there extra cpu or not?  how close to the line are we with preenfm3 now?  do we need to tiptoe around the subject?.

i am a paying customer many times over now, ive had a preenfm for many years, i know it pretty well, and i know which direction it could go.  should i just stfu?  am i wasting my time telling you several ways in which it needs improvement?  how gentle do you guys needs me to be before you comprehend what i type?  before you call me a whiny bitch?  boy i love this synth but i sure dont love this game of tippy toe comprehension.  can you just grow some skin please?

the pedal is a guitar distortion pedal.

you dont understand?   







ok i hope im clear now?  you can imagine what linear input would do to a parameter through a response curve?

no plans?  that seems a tad bit defensive, as if what i suggested is absurd?  you have no intention to add more matrix destinations?  you mean unless someone else with a preferred point of view raises the question? is something im doing making this harder for you to understand?  please lets take care of that first. 

envelopes and lfos dont need to be the same ones youve been using since the 1980s.  response curves dont need to be mysterious.  they can offer the same or enhanced performance, depending of how good your breakfast was today.  they can animate sounds in unexpected ways.  oh but they are a bit new-fangled im afraid.

this is actually the feature im most fond of and feel that would transform the sound of preenfm3 the most.

beyond more filter/distortion algorithms and more modulation possibilities of course.  but luckily it has multiple outputs!  im also trying to collect some pedals!  unfortunately you just cant modulate pedal parameters.

good to know about the preenfm3.   i guess that would work.  do you plan to add much more to the preenfm2?  seems like some less processor intensive things would make sense.  anyway, thanks for unison, its really the best way to imprint some of these sounds.  im definitely looking forward to the preenfm3.  ill most likely get another if i like it!

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / key range, velocity range

« on: October 17, 2021, 11:01:53 PM »

would it be possible to allow a key range to restrict each of the 4 instruments to fade out or stop playing outside of a specified key range or velocity range?  so in essence you could build a multi layered patch that was very expressive instead of using the layers as different instruments.  in essence making the whole machine about layers of a single patch but all responding accordingly?  this would take the machine to the next level for reasonably complex patches.  i know you could use the matrix for some of this but im unaware of you can make a velocity range for a patch as easily.  it would be nice to have a higher level of layer management so the option to use it this way were available without going into detail in the matrix.  like another page after 'engine' for keyrange/velocity/fade parameters? ill totally buy you a beer or 5

ok i havent tried that yet.  thanks for the idea

then where does the attack portion of the envelope go?  i want to keep the percussive nature of the envelope intact but simply delay it.  ADSR without the A isnt the same as DADSR.  i mean im quite aware of the envelopes that are there now and how they work.

how nice would envelope delay be?  you can make a synth bass more groovy by delaying its influence on the carrier, or simply make a sound happen later, or even make a simple sequence.

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / curved envelope segments or parameter response curves

« on: October 17, 2021, 06:48:08 AM »

i would love to curve my attack phase or my decay to further define my bass or effect sounds.  this is a game changer honestly.  to fine tune carrier/modulator relationship with custom curved envelopes gives so much mojo to the final. 

it might instead be cool to customize the response of an individual parameter instead? so just feed it a linear value and the parameter will respond based on an input curve since its just easier to manage linear envelopes and automation.. this will animate patches in amazing ways making many things possible and help to define the sound of preenfm3 in a crowd of similar products.

of course, custom envelopes or other modulators would allow modulation with a variety of flavors to take place simultaneously but is more intense computationally and more work to add i think.  but i dont know.

well any of them that is possible.  if a knob can be twisted and an effect achieved, it would be nice to point a matrix slot there.  but specifically, it would be great to modulate the wrap drive, tone and gain to add some character to a patch (because im unable to get that distortion to fade out even after tweaking the amp envs).  but every filter parameter deserves it honestly. i feel like its a missed opportunity to make preenfm a more current sounding synth. i often want to dynamically tame a sound after it is distorted.  the formant filter deserves parameters as destinations too.  most of the subtractive filters would be a good choice too.
