I was wondering if the Organelle would play nice with, for example, the Expert Sleepers FH-1 module in order to facilitate clocking and triggering of Organelle patches from a modular or vice versa.  
Any insights? Looks like it should work, but confirmation would helpful.

Both the Organelle and FH-1 are USB host devices, so they can’t be connected directly together. The Organelle doesn’t have built in MIDI ports, but works well with a class compliant USB MIDI cable (like this [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JLU26W?psc=1&redirect=true&ref\_=oh\_aui\_detailpage\_o02\_s00](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JLU26W?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00)).

Then plug the MIDI output into a MIDI to CV Module with MIDI input (I was looking at some on this page [http://www.schneidersladen.de/en/modular/eurorack-modules/interface/midi-usb-to-cvgateclock.html](http://www.schneidersladen.de/en/modular/eurorack-modules/interface/midi-usb-to-cvgateclock.html))

I guess it would also be possible to use two USB/MIDI cables to connect two hosts together  
(Organelle and FH-1), essentially the same as connecting 2 laptops together over USB and MIDI.
