Hello!
The aux output on my mixer is mono. I bought a mono cable to connect it to the stereo input of the organelle to use the granular freezer over my guitar. But, the signal only comes on the Left channel. Any solution?
Thank you!

you might have to hack a cable.. OR modify the patch.. But most guitar friendly patches accept just one channel as input. (and still provide stereo out.) As you say, when you connect a mono cable to a stereo in, it just shows up in one channel.. There are many guitar pedals that can double the input (wether you use the effect or not), so you could use one of this pedals after the Aux out of your mixer or directly after the guitar..

Thank you for your reply. Does any object such as a mono in exists?

if an effect is stereo, you would then use the left outlet of the [adc] object to connect to both inputs of the Fx. I assume that if you look for guitar patches in patchstorage you will see different solutions.

It works but I can’t save (it says Home/music/fw\_dir/mother.pd read only file system)
I guess i should do that in the patch but there is no [adc] object

Yes, you should do it in each patch, with the r~ inL object which is receiving the audio from the mother patch

yeah, in this case, connecting also the inL to the pd crossfade that goes to outR should do it ..

Do you use the Organelle M/S? There is the “Granular Freezer” patch in /sdcard/Patches/Effects/Granular Freezer.
You can edit and save the patch there. This patch is opened when you select it on Organelle.
I think your issue will be fixed by connecting the **[r~ inL]** object to the **[r crossfade]** object on the right. Please check the following image.

Thank you all for your replies!
I will let you know if any of these solutions work. I tried yours @totototo and it didn’t work last time. I will persevere.

As shown, Audio In is still left channel only…

The Organelle’s Input VU Meter shows the levels on the input jack, not what is happening within the patch.
RE: your photo, the Output VU Meter is showing activity on the left and right channels, so are you hearing what you expected?
