Patches in .zop format (ending in .zop) should never be uncompressed because

they often contain additional installation instructions that the Organelle will

process during installation.

To backup a patch:

copy the patch's folder to a location on your computer.

To rename a patch:

rename the patch's folder, just as you would rename any folder on

your computer.

To delete a patch:

delete the patch's folder, just as you would delete any folder on your

computer.

Taken together, these basic functions make it easy for you to organize and sort your
patches.

4.3 Using internal microSD

Patches are stored on the internal microSD in the same manner as the USB drive. There is
a Patches folder at the top level that contains patches or sub folders of patches. In order
to access the microSD card and manage the patches we need to use the web browser
based file manager. This process is detailed in the next chapter.

5. Using WiFi with the Organelle

The Organelle has always been able to connect to WiFi networks and we have been
building out its WiFi capabilities over time. At this point the WiFi capabilites have grown to
allow many powerful and convenient features, and the Organelle now ships with a USB
WiFi adapter standard.

The two major features are a web based interface and the support for Ableton LINK, for
wireless tempo synchronization. The web based interface allows you to access and
manage the Organelle's patches and configure WiFi settings. You can access this interface
from any web browser.

In order to get the Organelle connected we use a USB WiFi adapter. To get started, insert
the included WiFi adapter into one of the Organelle's USB ports.
