Organelle as Morningstar-like Midi Foot Controller

Organelle Patching
1

Hi all. I’ve got a well-loved Organelle that, I’m just now realizing, might be able to send specific midi messages and trigger recording events on my Octatrack for live looping and sampling. Basically, I’d want to change the note value and midi channel for several of the wooden keys within the same patch/page, something akin to the wide programmability of a morningstar midi pedal. It seems pretty simple–I’d need to send the same note (in this case, C#4/midi note 61) on up to 8 different midi channels.

Problem is, I haven’t really found an existing patch that looks like this, nor have I been able to easily find a tutorial or patch which I can look at for a clear model on how to edit the underlying midi values/channels of the keys.

Any tips on how / where to start? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!!

Think you’d need to copy the mother patch to the patch folder (to not get default) and disconnect the noteout in the midi section. As this will send out the keyboard presses as midi notes if you don’t disconnect it.

Then you do r notes, a select for note number, and direct whatever actions you want as a noteout event (do a help for noteout as it can do midi channel).

Does that help or make any sense? Probably not!

This makes a lot of sense, thank you! Now to get around to doing it…
