I thought about getting some Eurorack stuff a few times and looked for midi to cv. This one is really cheap and gives you 12 sequences and 4 cv parameters for 100$. Note, I dont have one myself, but I do have another product from that guy, and that works perfectly. > **[CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box by Sixty Four Pixels on Tindie](https://www.tindie.com/products/hotchk155/cvocd-a-super-flexible-midi-to-cv-box/)** > > Four analog CV outputs, Twelve gate outputs, a wide range of MIDI to CV mapping options at a budget price! ---

As far as I know, Organelle does not send MIDI out of its USB port. @oweno ? ---

yes it does. I can send notes to the Circuit by playing buttons. as long as there is a noteout in the patch it should not be a problem ---

Yes, the Organelle sends and receives MIDI via USB-MIDI class-compliant devices. ---

Thanks, has anybody tested it with computer via the usb port? Or it needs a special interface? ---

The Organelle and your computer are both USB _hosts_. You can’t connect two hosts together directly. So you will need two USB-MIDI devices (one for your computer and one for the Organelle). Be sure to use a name brand device like the E‑MU Xmidi 1x1 as there are some very shoddy no-name devices out there. _Reminder: the Organelle only works with USB-MIDI class-compliant devices._ ---

Two of those interfaces is the answer then…Thanks… ---

Has anyone tried linking the Organelle to a computer over an iConnectMIDI4+? I know it works with the Organelle and an iPad, and also allows sending MIDI out of the Organelle and/or iPad. Don’t know if a computer and an Organelle can be connected to it though. ---

I have an iCM4+ connected to a MacBook and iPad and the Organelle into a USB to MIDI DIN converter connected via MIDI DIN. This works well. No issues seen. But you cannot connect Organelle as a “computer” to the iCM4+ and see it normally. ---

The Organelle works with the iCM4+ without any issues. Even powers it. I’ve used it many times. I was wondering if connecting an Organelle AND a computer would be possible. I can try it next week and report here. ---

You are plugging it into one of the Host ports? Are you able to get MIDI from all channels to the Organelle? I tried and didn’t get anything. Did you edit the MIDI config file on the Organelle to do this? Or is it only since the OS update? ---

Hi, It was before the OS update. I don’t remember doing anything special on the iCM4 or the Organelle. It just works. My iCM4 was set to send everything from the iPad and the Computer out from the two 5-DIN outputs. I can send MIDI to the Organelle and to my guitar pedals from the iPAd at the same time, AND also send MIDI to the pedals from the Organelle. I can also connect my QuNeo over its MIDI Host box to the iCM4 and send MIDI from it to the Organelle and the iPad. I will resume using it with the Organelle next week. I’ll report back if anything changed after the OS update, but I don’t see why it should.
