What do you say to people who complain that ur product arrived late?...F'em! ;-)

Does anyone know how to accelerate the Envelope zoom? I do this with middle mouse wheel but takes ages to zoom out or in.

I thought the only way to zoom was to use the magnify glass icon. (?)

Nvm - I see what you mean now.

you can by scrolling with the mouse wheel. but it´s slow as hell. and if you move one dot outside the window or want to zoom in it takes so long. fm8 is way quicker there.

I tried the Shift key with the mouse wheel and its much faster.

this only scolls the window for me.

Hi Xbucket,

Wolfram here, the developer of F.'em. Examigan is correct, holding the Shift key while using the scroll wheel should zoom in/out much faster. However, if you are on Windows or Linux, I don't know how your mouse is set up. On those systems it is particularily tricky to make this behave correctly since every mouse or touch pad manufacturer has its own idea how the scrolling should behave. Furthermore, if you have a scroll wheel that goes only up- and downwards, Shift might be used to scroll sideways (which might be the case in your setup).

Ah well, maybe I have to add a global parameter like "mouse wheel speed" to catch those situations.

Best wishes,

Wolfram

Hi Wolfram,

thanks for your reply. I am on mac and use a logitech mouse which works otherwise like it should be. What about shift clicking and moving up and down on the slider bar under that envelope window?
As you are here at the moment; do you have some infos why the download from the download manager is queued all the time?

best

Hi Jens,

Dave is working on the download manager issue right now.

Regarding the zoom speed, I have decided to add a global speed factor to the preferences. That way you don't need to hold down Shift for quick changes (but you still can if your setup supports it).

Hi wolfram , first of all congratulations witht F-em ..sounds really good
First , please have a look at the envelope bug , sometimes the envelope attack stage is totally disregarded..a long attack suddenly becomes instantanious ( see first page of this thread ) .
I tried reproducing the bug , but it's verry difficult ,the bug appear out of nowhere after a while .
Secondly , please give the option to hide the pop up when adjusting envelope points ( this slows downthe gui on my host ) .
How come that the sine waves are kind of noisy ( showing verry high , silent harmonics ) and not a single pure fundamental ?
Did you model the dx 7 dac stages , or are the (sine) operator sample based waveforms ?
About voice mode , when settng voices to only ONe , we can still play two voices making it impossible to play mono legato
And please , ad a higher fm amount range , as it is now F-em is roughly on par with the dx7 operator output ( fm amount) the tx1z fm amount goes much higher .
Cheers , and thanks for listening

O.K I managed to replicate the bug
Initialise f-me
Operator 8 is the only operator routed directly to output
Draw some 16 th notes in your sequencer and press play
-
-step 1 -route operator 7 into 8 , set fm amout to full , adjust decay stage of op 7
-step 2 - Change operator 8 attack stage , so it's not instant anymore ( breakpoint 1 )
-step 3-Set it back to an instant attack
-step 4- Route operator 6 , into op 8 and adjust fm range and envelope decay stage
-step 5-Now go back to operator 8 and adjust attack to fade in , if the bug is present it should disregard the attack stage , iow it's always instantenious .
If this doesn't happen yet , change the decay stages of the other operator's , and go back to step 5 ..at some point intime the bug will kick in

Wolfram Franke, ex-Waldorf? Really nice

Yes, Wolfram is in that team for quite some time. Waverazor had his hand also, if I am not mistaken.

That's good to hear. I noticed that the others who've had the download manager issue are on Mac; I'm on Windows, and have the same issue. The synth itself is really good, though. One question: how do we load our own multisamples into S1 or S2? The manual doesn't say anything about that, at least as far as I could find.

Is it better than FlowMotion from Waves?

It´s different. Way more possibilities but somehow different. In Flow Motion you have the snapshot sequencer which is nice too. I´d download the demo. F´em for me is more like FM8 on fire; but i have to dig deeper to feel its smoothness like i have in fm8

Voice issue , playing two voices while nr is set to one

Had this too. You have to go to the Layer page; there you can choose mono or legato.

The envelope bug has a high priority on my list so don't worry.

The max voices bugs is already fixed. But never ever use it to simulate mono mode. It is purely meant to limit the maximum number of voices F-em is allowed to work with. To set a layer to mono, go to its "Layer" page and select "Mono" in the Trigger section.

Regarding the other bugs and wishes: will have a look what I can do, and no, F-em doesn't simulate the DX7 DAC.
