Operating Organelle™ by Itself
On this primary screen, each line tends to show particular information related to the current
patch. (Individual patches can vary this pattern when deemed appropriate.)
• The top line provides level meters. These are representations of the audio levels that
are reaching the device’s
I
(nputs) and those that are ending up at its
O
(utputs). Each
meter is actually a stereo representation, with the top rows showing left levels and the
bottom rows showing those for the right channels.
In the example pictured above, the audio output seems to be of similar strength on
both the left and right channels. And no audio input is being received at this moment
in time.
NOTE:
The on-screen output meter is operating in a “post fader” mode, where the
displayed signal is scaled based on the unit’s current volume setting.
• The middle four lines are prefaced with
1
,
2
,
3
, and
4
, each representing that
respective knob. Following the knob number is usually a short name for the parameter
being altered and then a numeric representation of that parameter’s current value. So
in the example shown above, Knob 2 is controlling a parameter named
Vibrato Rate
that is current set to
8 Hz
.
• The bottom line is prefaced with
Aux
as it tends to provide more information about
the assignment and/or current state of the Aux button. In the example above, this
patch seems to toggle the waveform being used an oscillator, with a
Sine Wave
currently in use.
Organelle’s Default MIDI Setup
The way Organelle handles MIDI will be relevant to all users, even if you are mainly pressing
the unit’s own maple keys to trigger note messages. There are certain default MIDI
assignments in Organelle patches that you should know.
NOTE:
In this section, terms specific to the MIDI protocol will have quotation marks
around them. As this jargon predates Organelle, we would suggest
consulting a general resource on MIDI if the terms aren’t clear to you.
