Yeah I am not 100% sure if I can get it working on Organelle on my own since, as far as I know, it need some drivers installed and I am not sure how to do that on Organelle. Anyway, 1 step at a time, first Ill get it working on the mac and see what works.
Yeah I look forward to play with it, lots of cool things to do with “live” sources like radio. Especially cool that when using the externals rtlsdr you can change stations and everything from within pd. This is really cool. have also been looking at another external called Icecast, in unauthorized external pack. I was following a tutorial on how to use it, but after doing the first few step I realized it was for me broadcasting radio to the world, not for me grapping radio signals from the world. It might work for that too, I dunno, but the documentation was a bit sparse, so I decided to go with this rtlsdr external idea instead. And I allr eady checked the external loads in PD on my Mac, so I hope the radio is compatible with my set up ![]()
Dont know the Koma one but looks really cool ![]()
But also I was thinking about combining it with this app called ReacTIVision, which takes coordinates from a camera, using a special kind of symbol cards, and you can use the coordinates for modulation in PD. This also got externals for PD, but again I am not sure how i would get this working with Organelle, cause one needs to install an app… But for Mac, I have tested it and it works. It crazy what you can do… With a SINGLE symbol card, I think you get around 20 modulation sources… And you can use up to 32 symbols at the same time… So 32X20… 640 controllers into pd… I mean more than one need, but super cool, even with just a single symbol card… I only tired with 1 from my Iphone screen, I need to get them printet
And as far as I remember the external used is pretty light weight too.
The program is also freeware so it is very appealing. The technology used is the same as used in the super cool Reactable.

So if we can hook up a sdr radio and a camera to organelle and install a few drivers, there are many cool ways to interact with patches ![]()
