Operating Organelle™ by Itself
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 effective.
Incoming “control change” messages using controller number
26
replace the current value
used by Organelle for an expression-style pedal. And incoming messages using controller
number
64
replace the current value used by 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 reactive it as the current control source, updating both
controllers
26
and
64
.
Program Change Messages
Incoming “program change” messages are used to change Organelle’s current patch.
“Program numbers” are assigned based on each patch’s position in alphabetical order. Let’s
unpack this a bit.
Just as they are displayed in the patches menu, all currently available patches are taken in
alphabetical order, and each patch is then dynamically assigned a “program number”
based on its position. So if Organelle had three patches available called
A Patch
,
B Patch
,
and
C Patch
, program number
1
would call up
A Patch
, program number
2
would call up
B
Patch
, and program number
3
would call up
C Patch
. (If these were the only three patches
available, program change messages for programs
4
and above would do nothing.)
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 MIDI device with Organelle is rather painless but not “hot swappable.”
1.
Connect your USB MIDI device.
As long as a USB MIDI device requires no special,
proprietary driver, you need only to connect it to Organelle. This can be done via an
open USB port either on Organelle itself or on a USB hub that is connected to
Organelle.
