of the Aux button. A controller value between
64
and
127
simulates the Aux button being
pressed down, while a controller value between
0
(zero) and
63
simulates a release of the
Aux button.
NOTE:
A momentary control source, such as a damper pedal or button, would
work well with this sort of threshold behavior. In certain situations, controlling
the Aux button from a external "sustain" pedal could be quite e
ff
ective.
Incoming "control change" messages using controller number
26
replace the current
value used by the Organelle for an expression-style pedal. And incoming messages using
controller number
64
replace the current value used by the Organelle for a sustain-
/damper-style pedal. (This subtle distinction really only matters if you are making your
own patches.) Similar to the knobs, using the pedal will reactivate it as the current control
source, updating both controllers
26
and
64
.
Program Change Messages
Incoming "program change" messages are used to select the Organelle's current patch
from the list of Favourites.
Patches are stored in the Favourites list in the order they are added. Each patch is then
dynamically assigned a "program number" based on its position. Let's say the Organelle
had three patches added to Favourites in this order:
Proton Patch
,
Water Patch
, and
Acid
Patch
. Sending the Organelle program number
1
would call up
Proton Patch
, program
number
2
would call up
Water Patch
, and program number
3
would call up
Acid Patch
.
(Since these are the only three patches in Favourites, program change messages for
numbers
4
and above would do nothing.) If you have only one patch in Favourites,
program number
1
will not cause a change.
Other MIDI Messages
Any other MIDI message is passed directly to the current patch. If the patch is configured
to handle that particular message, it will respond as configured. If the patch is not
listening for that message, then nothing will happen.
Using a USB MIDI Device
Using a USB MIDI device with the Organelle is rather painless but not "hot swappable."
