howdy,

was hoping i might be able to get a little help or direction with a metronome patch.

i use my organelle exclusively at the end of my guitar chain for processing. lately ive been wanting to use it to as a practice tool too, but all of the patches ive tried that are beat keeping/metronome specific always mute the input source, Does anyone know of a metronome/beat keeping patch that plays the click and still processes a clean input sound? I would like to be able to have both the click and guitar to be output simultaneously, Anyone else using the organelle as a practice tool like this?

You could use grids prowave on patch storage as a very deluxe metronome and effects patch

> Hey guys just got my organelle yesterday. I tried playing with the sampler and so far have managed to get it to work but the main problem I’m having is hearing the source while I’m recording the sample. Anyone know if it’s possible to hear what you are recording?

In this thread Owen outlines a super simple edit that can be applied to virtually any patch to allow the input to pass through “clean”. I don’t know a whole lot about pd but so far adding this little chunk into patches like polybeats, metronome, basic poly etc has worked for my devices.

That being said I have noticed some slight changes in the signal depending on the patch, especially when used in an effects chain.
