Operating Organelle™ by Itself
Controller number
26
transmits continuous values. While the general range would be from
0
(zero) to
127
, the exact range of values may vary based on the pedal connected. This
continuous behavior is ideal for an expression-type pedal.
No matter what type of pedal is connected, both of these control change messages will be
transmitted, and there is nothing stopping you from using both sets of messages.
Incoming MIDI Messages
While all MIDI messages received by Organelle (via USB) will be passed on to the patch that
is currently loaded, certain messages are handled uniformly across all patches.
In general, the MIDI messages that are output by Organelle (as outlined in the immediately
previous section) are identical to the incoming messages recognized by Organelle. This can
be helpful, for example, if you want to record the movement of Organelle’s controls into a
sequencer as automation data. In other words, the mappings are a bit of a mirror. So let’s
take particular note of how incoming MIDI messages interact with and can sometimes
override Organelle’s on-board controls.
And similar to the outgoing messages, incoming messages should be sent on channel one.
Note On Messages
Incoming note messages can happen concurrently with note messages created by playing
Organelle’s keys. If incoming and internal notes are occurring at the same time, these two
streams are essentially merged into one large set of notes.
Control Change Messages
Incoming “control change” messages using controller numbers
21
,
22
,
23
, and
24
replace
the current values set by Knobs 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
To restore a knob’s control:
simply turn the knob enough to register a new value. In the
same way that “control change” messages are designed to work, the dominant message is
always the last one received.
Incoming “control change” messages using controller number
25
affect the internal status
of the Aux button. A controller value between
64
and
127
simulates the Aux button being
pressed down, while a controller value between
0
(zero) and
63
simulates a release of the
Aux button.
