These topic areas will prepare you for general use of the Organelle. So let's start using it
now and get the pretty box singing.
3.1 Main Menu Screen
To interface with the Organelle, we will primarily work with two of its components. The
Selector encoder allows us to navigate system options and execute functions, and the on-
board display shows us the choices we have and provides feedback on our current patch
and system.
When the Organelle is powered up, it first runs through its boot sequence and then drops
us into its
main menu screen
.
The menu screen itself comprises two sections: the system section (or system menu) at
top and the patches section (or patches menu), which we see in the above image.
The first line of the screen displays some information. If no patch is currently playing it will
say 'Select Patch'. On the far right is a power icon. When running from batteries you will
see a battery guage indicating how many bars of power remain. When you plug the
Organelle in this changes to a flat solid bar. To the left of the power icon is a WiFi
connection icon. When the Organelle is connected to WiFi this icon will appear.
