Thanks, I'll try and figure that out.

Xavier, sorry to bother you but I cannot find the instructions to update the firmware for the original PreenFM.  I tried the link in the Firmware thread but it is not valid.

Thanks

That's great, thanks Xavier.  I'll try it as soon as I can and let you know.

Ouch!  Does the new version respond to sustain pedal input?

Sorry Xavier I got busy and forgot about this.  I have the Preen hooked to a Roland A90 and the sustain pedal is hooked to the A90 as well.  The sustain pedal works for all of the other synths connected to it but does not work for the Preen.

Can someone tell me how to tell the PreenFM to respond to a sustain pedal (or hold switch)?  Couldn't find it in the manual but maybe I didn't look hard enough.

Thanks

Xavier, do you have any plans to do a PCB + processor option?

Okay, guess I better start saving money again then.

"It will be an upgraded version of the original one but not that different."

Xavier, that's good news and bad news I suppose.  It's good because it means my current PreenFM will not be completely out-of-date, but bad because it means I might not need the new version.

Or you could base the functionality around a hierarchy of the impacts of parameters.  If I wanted something to sound "brighter", that could mean adjusting a group of parameters. Or maybe a bit more "dirt", that could mean a different set of parameters, that would be adjusted together.  then, if I want to dive in to see what "dirty" actually means, I could open up a window that shows the individual parameters that add "dirt" to a sound.

It's a bit like the drill-down functionality in a data warehouse reporting tool.  At the dashboard level, I see some graphs, but double-click on a portion of the graph and I see the detailed data behind it.

In another interesting FM-related discussion, John Chowning is a member of Muff's and has taken part in this thread:

http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1018792#1018792

Someone asked him what his favourite FM algorithm was, and he posted a picture, kinda cool.  Not sure if everyone knows who John Chowning is but do a little bit of research, he is a genius.

On second thought, it might not really be him.  Stay tuned...

Xavier, there's a thread on Muff's talking about FM synthesis, might be worth monitoring:

Looking forward to seeing a photo and hearing some music.

Sounds like you're building a family rather than a studio.

I'm thinking a compromise may be in order.
