We have a new Organelle OS update available. This is a small update from OS 3, fixing typos and a few bugs, but also has some new goodies as well:
Better MIDI support for multiple devices and devices that didn’t play well with the Organelle previously.
Addition of WiFi hotspot function. Now your Organelle can function as a WiFi access point so you don’t need to bother joining a WiFi network to benefit from the Organelles wireless capabilities.
Better configuration for the foot pedal input.
Improved patch and software installers.
Thanks again to @thetechnobear for working on many of these improvements and to all the users who tested the beta OS, suggested features, and generally continue to push the limits of this instrument!
a couple of additional notes, for those not following beta…
installation:
if your already using 3.0 , then just copy the UpgradeOS3.1.zip to the usb stick in patches (do not unzip it), and use the Organelle ‘install…’ option.
this is not only quicker, but is more also reliable.
if your using 2.x, then you will need to unzip, in the same way previous updates have been done.
midi notes
midi also now support omni input, and also turning off input/output, and a few other things.
midi device selection, now remembers the device rather than the port.
what does this mean? basically it remembers your device name (e.g. akai 25) rather than which usb port its connected to, so if you move it on a usb hub it will still work.
I just tried it. Worked fine for me. Did you drop the .zip directly into the patches folder, without unzipping it?
Technobear said there’s a chance that could cause an issue. I’m just spit ballin here.
Every time I click on the download link (on the C&G site), I get “this site can’t be reached - thepeacetreaty.org’s server IP address could not be found” . . . can’t get the .zip at all. Downloaded other patches no problem.
Hey thetechnobear, thank you for your work.
I am on macos, and I have this message : Upgrade failed: files Try downloading and running this patch again
I saw that it was an issue supposed to be fixed on this 3.1 version, but i still have this issue.
Do you have any advice in order to upgrade the organelle on mac ?
@matpot, you got the “Upgrade Failed” message from the Organelle screen?
You might want to try flashing the OS onto the microSD card directly. Instructions here
Hi @chrisk,
Thank you very much for being so reactive, and for all the informations!
Well I don’t have a microSd card adapter at the moment, so I need to find one, but the instructions seems really clear. I will let you know when I manage to make it work.
