Built!

Picked up from the post office this morning, a few hours later and Im done...



Beauty, I knew those old elektron knobs would come in handy on something!

Anyway, I think I have an issue with one of my outputs- from what I can tell only one of them is working. I'll have a proper poke around in a bit but if anyone has any ideas Im all ears- plan is to test again and start by checking the soldering on the output. Also is it normal that the encoder clicks represent two turns? To make a fine change I have to go really slow to avoid skipping on another value.*FIXED*

Is that with the encoders from the kit?
If not, there's a menu setting to switch between 12/24 steps which could help...

Yeah they were from the kit- Ill have a look into that setting when testing later, thanks!

[tIB]

Both issues sorted- encoder resolution thing solved that problem and found a joint I missed... hurrah indeed!

[pld]

Great!

And well, I'm very impressed indeed! Had a bit of fiddling finding the sweet spot on the volume- was getting a bit of distortion into the signal at max, I assume this is normal? Anyway, after that I had a great time- interface is uncluttered and straightforward, the dx7 patch loading is excellent, sound is very nice indeed- Im extremely pleased with it, ta very much for putting this together!

Now for the inevitable questions/request:

- polyphony is affected by the number of operators used? What is the maximum polyphony for each voice in each config? ie if I had a 6 op thing going on each instrument am I right in thinking the maximum is 48 ops, so 2 voices per channel?

- filters- I like what you have done there, but any chance of adding a bandpass? I do love me some bandpass...

- mixing- how do I set the overall level of each instrument? (I'll RTFM and delete that one if I find an answer!)

I know the volume pot for the first kits is slightly wonky, but I thought the new revision was better. Xavier will know...

Right, 48 operators total, so 48/6/4=2. If you use fewer instruments (number of voices = 0) you should be able to use more voices in the others.

- filters- I like what you have done there, but any chance of adding a bandpass? I do love me some bandpass...

Um, maybe

- mixing- how do I set the overall level of each instrument? (I'll RTFM and delete that one if I find an answer!)

Heh, there's a gain setting on the filter page As you might have noticed, the level is dependent on the number of voices too.

Thanks very much for the input! The volume distortion was my end rather than the preen's I think- forgot I had something on the mixer inserts! 

I wonder if a nice shortcut/additional page would be a level control page. I guess I could set one up on performance mode but wonder if an instrument levels page would be more practical? Of course, 'just' a bandpass filter would be plenty... FM + bandpass = made for one another!

My PreenFM is also ready

Thanks for the feedbacks on this page 
And thanks Patrick for your help...

Glad to see the distortion was outside the preenfm2.
Not easy to add a level page of the 4 instruments that should be saved with the combo. 
And I agree, a bandpass would really be a plus.

In hindsight setting the levels on the filter page is no biggie at all- just scroll through with the ins button or assign to the performance knobs if I want to do manual fading (which I pretty much never do with anything!).

Glad some others have an appetite for bandpass...
