preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Re: Preen editor in browser
« Last post by Toltekradiation on March 14, 2026, 12:22:26 AM »
Hi,
there was some bugs, like the arp clock setted to Ext by the editor, for some reason, which was maybe the cause of the issue you describe.
Hopefully this bug is fixed :)

There is now a new feature : Mutations. The idea is to interpolate between two patch to get new sounds. It gives some fun results so far.

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Re: Preen editor in browser

This is really cool Toltek!

I am having one problem: Is there some default/critical setting that I am missing? I can send patches to my preenfm3 and the settings on the preen match what I have in the browser. But the patch is making no sound. I have the OP volume up, I made sure the patch is not using too many voices to go over the max. Any ideas?

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Preen editor in browser

Hello,

What if you could edit the preenfm directly from your browser?
I built a small React app to experiment with the idea—here it is  :D.

https://preen-web-ui.vercel.app/


It’s very early, but it already works and can edit patches from the browser.

Source code:
https://github.com/pvig/preen-web-ui

Feel free to play with it, improve it, or send PRs.

Hi all, I know this forum is not super active (and neither am I), but I just wanted to drop a note that the news of PreenFM being discontinued inspired me to submit something made with the PreenFM3 to weekly beats. If you're interested, find it here: https://weeklybeats.com/wahsp/music/supreen

it basically replaces the firmware on your Preen FM
Ok thanks for confirming that. Presumably that's an 'unofficial' extension of the current firmware. Should I back up all my patches before installing - I mean, will it overwrite everything?

I just tried it. You keep your preset banks and so on, if that is what you worry about.

How can I test these. I'm not too techy. Does the file load 'on top' of the firmware (1.03) or is this that the same firmware with the modal stuff integrated?

preenfm2 and preenfm3 / Preen FM no longer available!
« Last post by Iapetus on January 17, 2026, 11:43:07 AM »
Just seen the notice below. Sad news. I really hope my FM3 never breaks. It's a weird thing. I have owned and used so many different synths and electronic instruments and obviously most of them are commercial mass produced instruments. Yet I get closest to the sounds that I want to make with the FM3. I'm always looking out for other FM synths but I'd be so disappointed to have to use any of them as a replacement for the FM3. Big thanks to Xavier and everyone else who contributed to the making of the Preen FM.

PREENFM KIT OFFICIAL SHOP

January 15th 2025 :

cs4344 (preenfm DAC) are End Of Life by Cirrus logic.

Preenfm2 and preenfm3 are out of stock and cannot be built without the CS4344. Modifying them to work with another DAC is not easy,
and i don't have any plan to do that.

Thanks everyone for making the preenfm the successfull hobyist project it has been!

Just put a drop of resin in the knob so it stands off a mm, failing that just put paper in the knob.
