Chapter Zero
Quick-start Guide
Let’s get sound. Now!
Welcome to the world of Organelle! You seem to be in a hurry so here is the short version
for getting up and running…
Package Manifest
Along with this card, there are two main items in the box you just opened.
•
Your Organelle.
Also note that a tiny white USB drive is also plugged in on the right
side of the unit. This drive houses the patches that will bring Organelle to musical life.
•
Its power adapter.
While the power supply has prongs for US-style wall sockets, it will
work with input voltages from 100 to 240VAC at 50/60Hz. You may need an adapter
for the shape of your wall socket.
Getting Started
For the simplest configuration, follow these steps.
1.
First connect the power adapter to a power outlet,
and then connect its plug to the leftmost port on the
back of the Organelle.
Once the Organelle is receiving
power, it will begin booting up. The screen will indicate
when this process is done.
2.
With the volume all the way down, connect your
headphones or audio output.
The knob furthest on
the right of Organelle controls its output
Vol
(ume).
Start with this knob all the way to the left (no sound).
From the front of the Organelle, peer over the back of
the unit (don’t worry; the port labels will be upright from this vantage). The leftmost
1/8" jack is for headphones, and the following two 1/4" jacks are for left and right
audio output, respectively.
