Hello all. The recent developments in AI coding tools have brought me back to the Organelle with a new zeal - They do struggle it seems with PD (although it can be done) so I though I would try making a patch with C++ as a test. I have learnt a lot about what you need to do to get a patch to compile and run on the Organelle 1. Or rather my agent has. If you are interested here is the simple monosynth patch I made. Be warned it is rather LOUD.

This is awesome, thank you for sharing the code! I’ve also been experimenting with C vibecoding — definitely agree that LLMs struggle with the graphical representation of PD, often giving unclear/incorrect answers. I’ve been trying to work around this by minimizing how much is done in PD and putting most of the interesting bits into a C external. But it’s super cool to see how to do it with no PD at all!

Ahh thanks. I think I fixed the loudness issue btw. The plan here is to be able to get a workflow that will allow for the creation of patches in “the new modern way”. This is mostly a proof of concept. I would say if you are going to try it. it would be a good idea to feed the agent this project’s readme as context. Also if you can SSH into the Organelle it would be less faff - I don’t think i can connect to my wifi as its 5ghz (well both but it still doesn’t like it). What to build next is the question.
Thanks for sharing this. I was able to build it without issues directly on the Organelle S2 connected with SSH:
cd /sdcard/Patches
git clone https://github.com/orac808/CppMonoSynth.git
cd CppMonoSynth/
make
Works great, and taking very little CPU. To work with all Organelles I guess you would need to do the cross compile method. But this is nice and easy for development. I installed Claude Code on the Organelle, so you can do everything right from SSH terminal, ask it to change something and it operates on itself. crazy! but yes question remains, what do you build now…
What WiFi adapter do you have ? the newer bigger ones (RT5572 I think) are supposed to work with 5 GHz

Awesome. Didn’t expect anyone to pick and compile it so soon. Running Claude Code on the box it’s self was the next idea to try actually so glad to hear it works. In terms of the WiFi dongle - mine is the one that shipped with the original Organelle Like this RT5572 does look bigger 
On the topic of what to build next I have a few big ideas - I should probably try some smaller ones first.
A hardware version of something like an offline Endlesss is high on my hit list.
Thanks for the inspiration @orac808 . This opens so much potential for people like me who just want to create patches. I vibecoded this Labyrinth-O Generative MIDI Sequencer
