need.
While you can navigate the file system with the keyboard and mouse, the best way to load
a patch is to do it from the Organelle's hardware. By using the Selector encoder to choose
and load a patch, you will then see the patch visually loaded by the Organelle along with a
crucial helper patch.
The Organelle unit itself is now functioning as we would normally expect it to: the patch
has been loaded, the Organelle's hardware display has shifted to the patch information
screen, and audio can now be produced.
Within the computer interface, we are now seeing the behind-the-scenes implications of
loading a patch. Our patch (in this case,
Basic Poly
) has been loaded, and its main.pd file
is taking up most of the screen. But sitting atop the patch we expected is one we did not.
THE MOTHER.PD HELPER PATCH
mother.pd
exists at the root (or top) directory of the Organelle, which is located on the
microSD that comes preloaded within the Organelle hardware. This helper patch is the
other half of the data handshake between the Pure Data patches we run and the
Organelle's hardware.
In short, this helper patch is executing the raw communications with the Organelle
