Using a wifi adapter

Yup, just to confirm, LINK is working fine for me on wifi, too. Here’s the steps I took:

FYI I am testing with OS 3.1 Beta, and Ableton Live 9.7.5

  1. Make sure you have LINK enabled patches. You can download some from this thread.
  2. Plug in your wifi adapter to the Organelle and make sure you’re connected to the same wifi network as your laptop with Ableton, or whatever other LINK-Enabled device you are testing with.
  3. Open a patch on the Organelle. I am testing with the Metronome patch.
  4. In Live when you enable LINK, it should say “1 Link” to notify you that there’s a link-enabled device on the network.
  5. Press “Play” in the Live transport
  6. Ableton and Organelle should be tempo linked. You can adjust tempo from either Live or the patch on your Organelle.

LINK is pretty sweet, I love that you can change tempo from whatever device you like – as opposed to MIDI, where you have a master/slave relationship.

It takes a bit of work, but you can get wired Ethernet working with Organelle, too. It just takes some Linux’ing and you have to enable eth1 with netctl and other networking commands. I’ve had success with the Apple USB Ethernet adapter. Should probably work with any USB class-compliant Ethernet adapter. This is much more reliable than wifi when playing a gig.
