I connected my korg monologue (by USB cable) and in the info the organelle says ‘MIDI: monologue’, so they are recognizing each other. but none of the patches are playing or receiving MIDI. for example, analogue style should be playable using the monologue keyboard, but no data seems to be going either way.
what could it be? I’m trying to narrow the possible issues. I checked they are on the same channel (both channel 1). I have used the monologue to send midi to my computer before so I now it can send MIDI okay.
since getting the organelle I haven’t used midi before. I have installed fluid synth (from here), pd-extended and the organelle system update. could any of these be interfering?
Have you been using the Organelle with a keyboard and monitor? If so you could check in Pd what it says under Media > MIDI Settings menu. It might be a problem that the monologue shows up as two MIDI devices which is confusing the Organelle.
fluidsynth & pd-extended won’t change your MIDI settings andy.
fluidsynth does not change ALSA, simply loads soundfont that are similar to midi files
I have the exact same setup and for the MIDI enabled patches monologue sends clock and note messages
‘channel1;’ or ‘channel 1;’ (with space)? This indicates the default MIDI channel for the Organelle. You can just delete the file and it will default to ch 1. (The file gets written when you change the MIDI channel in the Organelle System menu)
I ran the Test patch. there’s no midi out or in when connected to the monologue. I don’t have anything else to test on. I guess the midi on the organelle is okay because the midi synth patch works, and that uses midi data. am I correct? so it’s a connection issue. but in the info it says ‘midi: monologue’.
So how do you correct this? I’m trying to connect the KORG MicroKontrol MIDI controller, but it uses two(three?) MIDI ports. I can use this controller in Pure Data on OS X, by going into MIDI Settings and choosing Port 1 instead of the default (MIDI Ctl). Running PD in the organelle, that option doesn’t show up in the MIDI Settings. Recommendations on how to solve this? Thank you~
