Maybe I'm too forgiving 
I'll upload an audio test...

I wonder if individual OLEDs have different noise levels?

Hmm. I have an ugly blue Newhaven one.

1. Yes. I'm applying a free envelope to the filter. So, all notes share the mod matrix including 'note number'? I guess that would be paraphonique. 
3. Maybe this is more of an envelope issue? I haven't thoroughly tested it... Ideally, if you assign an envelope with positive modulation to the filter, the envelope starts at the cut off frequency and rises up in frequency in the attack etc. If you assign negative modulation, the envelope starts at the cut off frequency and drops down in the attack etc.
4. Ahhh... that makes sense.
thanks,
Martin.

I just checked as a matter of interest.
With a simple monophonic sine wave at -6 dB. The regular noise is at -67 dB. Which seems very reasonable for a synth. The noise at the 5% end is about -54 dB. I think that might be to do with the limits on the pot.

The 'parasite' is more than likely from the OLED. They are noisy little b*ggers. On my synth, the noise is bad at the top 5% of the volume pot but much lower below. It is low enough that it does not bother me at all. They do like to infect the ground with digital noise. Maybe, a bad solder joint?

Hi Xavier,
while having some free time and some fun with the preenfm2, I have a few questions...
1. When playing a polyphonic patch, lifting one note triggers the release of the filter which affects all notes. (I'm guessing there is one filter for all notes.) Would holding on sustain until the last note be better? I'm not sure.
2. The Matrix ranges from -10 to 10. The IMs and frequency go the full range, but the pan, mix and filter only range from +-1. Is there a list of the effective ranges? Is everything else +-1?
3. The Matrix negative values seem to flip the polarity of the sources. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with the filter. Is this possible?
4. I've noticed there are a couple of duplicate algorithms. 7 and 12, 8 and 15. Is there a reason behind this?
I'll share some patches soon. Likely in installments.
Thanks!,
Martin.

Hi Xavier,
I have been putting the editor to good use the last couple of days and I have found some issues...
1. The MIDI Setup is not saved on exit
2. The Free envelope 1 decay node keeps dropping / rising outside the graph when dragging the sustain up and down. (Minor bug)
3. The editor seems to crash after being open for a while. Unfortunately, Windows event viewer only reports this...
Faulting application name: pfm2Editor.exe, version: 0.4.0.0, time stamp: 0x53c6af79
Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00000049
Faulting process id: 0x117d4
Faulting application start time: 0x01cfdf1d32c3dc52
Faulting application path: C:\Users\FunkyFli\Downloads\synths\PreenFM2\Editor\pfm2Editor.exe
Faulting module path: unknown
Report Id: 78b2cb8f-4b14-11e4-a8e8-005056c00008
So, sorry, pretty useless.
4. Also, is there a chance for an update with the added features? ie. Bandpass, BitCrusher
Thanks,
Martin.

Doh! Just noticed I can select multiple inputs... no stuck notes so far...

Awesome!
Very Easy to use.
Some initial observations: (V0.2)
It would be nice to have a MIDI input connection for a keyboard/controller. I have the keyboard connected to the DIN. This might be causing the following stuck note issue...
If I play notes while adjusting a dial (IM1 etc.), I eventually get a stuck note which cannot be turned off. Could be due to 2 competing MIDI inputs.
The Operator Frequency Ratio dial is very sensitive. (Mouse Wheel as well) Could that be reduced?
The Free Env. 2 Silence node: After dragging it to 0, it cannot be dragged out again.
I also noticed that with Algo 1: After setting IM1 and IM2 to 0, IM3 still has a big effect on the sound. Shouldn't it have no effect?
