Does anyone use the PreenFM2 synth on here?

I'm trying to use [ctlout] to send a Combo change message to the synth but am unsure how to do this.

The instruction in the PreenFM2 manual is:

So sending a program change is easy enough using [pgmout] but how do you set this CC message ** ?

Bank select (CC#0) and Bank Select LSB (#32)

Bank select=0 =>  BankLSB=Preenfm bank number

Bank select=1 => BankLSB=Combo number **

Bank select=2 => BankLSB=DX7 bank 0->127

Bank select=3 => BankLSB=DX7 bank 128->255

Doesn't have to be with the [ctlout] object of course if there's a better way of sending CC messages to the PreenFM2 from Max?  I've been looking around the objects and nothing jumps out...

CC #0 = 1 (select a combo bank).
CC #32 = 0-7 (select combo bank number).

You're understanding correctly what you need to send. Send the Bank Select 1 (CC# 0 with a value of 1) and then send the Bank Select LSB for the combo you want (CC# 32 with a value of 0-7). In the 

 object, provide the controller number in the second inlet, then provide the controller value in the first inlet. Here's an example where choosing the combo number first sends the correct Bank Select value, then sends the combo number.

Thanks... I'm still not getting what to apply to the second inlet.

If I need it to be CC# 0 with a value of 1 should I just be able to have a message box with a value of "1" in it? That isn't a variable like the Combo box on inlet 1.

 object go in right-to-left order.) See also the

Thanks very much, that does make sense. Unfortunately the Preen doesn't react to the changes in the patch. This could be a PreenFM2 thing rather than a Max thing.

Thanks for taking the time to explain the patch.
