Finding and downloading Organelle-ready patches is easy enough. To use these patches,
we need to get them from a computer to the Organelle's microSD card or USB drive. (And
yes, that computer could be running Windows, Macintosh, Linux, or some other operating
system. No additional software is required; the computer is just being used to download
files, possibly decompress them, and then copy their folders to your Organelle.)
Getting patches on a USB drive is simply a matter of inserting the drive in a computer and
copying over the files. To use the internal microSD card we need to connect to the
Organelle over WiFi and transfer them using a web browser interface.
4.1 Folder Structure
Whether the Organelle is loading patches from the microSD card or USB drive, the patches
have the same folder structure. The patches live in a folder named
Patches
at the top level
of either the microsD or USB drive. Each patch is a folder itself and each patch's folder
must contain a file named
main.pd
. A patch might require other files, such as sounds or
sequences or sub patches, and these will all reside in the patch folder.
An example folder listing would start like this. You can see here at least four patches, each
with a required
main.pd
file.
