thanks xavier... one more question - is the screen easily swappable?
(slightly ashamed to say that i bought my preenfm2 ready-built)
you can dump the current patch to pc using save_syx_Send patch, obviously using c6 or similar. and you can load these patches to preenfm2 using c6 to send it.
Here's my attempt at a handclap sound. Not very convincing..
This is an export from the PreenFM2 editor. Not sure what suffix it should have, though. Is it .syx, or something else?

Claps are kinda tricky since there is no delay on the start of the envelopes.
I made a quick loop of some Preen drums..

The preen can do huge kicks. Unlike the DX7, the envelopes are really fast and you can modulate pitch on each operator separately.
A basic kick is two separate parts so find an algo with 2 separate pairs of fm operators {can't remember the number).
The boom of the kick is a sine with fixed frequency at around 70hz. No attack and sustain, short decay and release. Set the extra envelope1 to modulate the pitch on op1. Set it to no attack or sustain and even shorted decay and release and set the depth to something quite high. This should give the basic kick sound. Use can add in a little fm for flavour and grit. Tweak the envelope decays and pitch envelope depth to taste.
The second oscillator pair will add the beater. This is the click sound at the start of the kick. It is called "attack" on a 909. Set both fixed frequency waves around 1khz with a fair bit modulation. Set the envelope to no attack, sustain and release and use a really really short decay. Basically this should generate a click sound. Adjust the decay and the modulation amount until you like it. Set the volume of the click lower than the boom.
Add the bass bost filter. You could map the volume, boom decay, bass boost frequency and click level to p1..p4 which would give similar controls to 909 kick.
First of all how do you guys use it standalone? Do you connect the usb port and a midi keyboard to input notes via the midi input?
I get a lot of stuck notes this way and sometimes changing a parameter dont do anything.
Second one is i cant get the VST version to work. My Cubase doesnt recognise it as a plugin. Maybe i use the wrong .dll file.
Whats the msvcp110.dll file??

....can it do the early 21, 27, 100 4 Op thing as well as DX-7 6 Op thing is what I am getting at...
