Thanks for the interest in the patch, unfortunately this thing is still very much a pre beta version that requires way too much TLC to get it running properly. I will have to revisit the patch to optimise its size and parameter configuration, which will happen since I up my pure data game by each new patch. However these patches are all relying on the presence of specific hardware controllers like the APC mini which makes them not very usable to most of the organelle users.
Iām having a problem connecting my monome (64 grid 40h model) to my organelle. Itās so close to working that Iām hoping it should be a simple fix but I just cannot figure it out. I think the source of the problem is that the āserialoscā object creates okay but when I open it, it is missing some objects such as āpipelistā, prependā and āunpackOSCā, which all seem to be OSC objects I thought would be installed with the serialOSC installer package. Does anyone have any idea why these are missing and how I can get it working?
Couple of other things that might be useful to know:
- The PD extended folder is on my organelle USB
- Iāve been testing the āserialoscā object directly on the organelle via tigerVNC
- The serialosc object and monome work 100% as expected on my MacBook using PD extended which suggests itās not a hardware issue
- The āgridā object outputs correct button press data when the monome is connected to the organelle but does not work with LED messages (Iām guessing this is because grid was made to work with 128 and not 64 grids). Additionally when running the serialOSC install the LEDās light up as expected upon completion. This suggests the physical monome to organelle connection is fine
This all makes me think that the issue must be the missing objects in the serialosc object? I would really appreciate if anyone has any ideas to get it working? Or even a working version of serialosc and/or the missing objects compiled for organelle?
Really appreciate the help! Keen to get this working as Iāve been building a sequencer for monome/organelle/CVpal which Iām hoping should be really interesting to use.
Also, heads up that Iāve cross posted this on the Lines forum so apologies if you see it twice!
I have a similar grid, and I couldnāt use the grid object for lighting up the buttons either.
I also couldnāt use /monome/grid/led/level/row, I think it assumes varibright grids. I think I read somewhere on Lines that itās supposed to work anyway (like ā0-7 is off, 7-15 is onā or something), but I had no luck.
What I ended up doing for my variant of jblr (which is the only monome patch Iāve used on organelle), was to not use the aleph apps at all, just regular serialOSC, and /monome/grid/led/set for turning the LEDs on and off. Not as tidy, but it works.
I donāt have access to my organelle rn, so I canāt help you about your missing objects. they should be in pd-extended.
Good to know you had some success eventually! Did you post that patch anywhere I could take a look at? No worries if not.
After a session of troubleshooting last night I have made some progress. By separately downloading the OSC and list-abs objects, then putting these in the patch folder and changing āprependā to āprepentā Iāve got some of the missing objects working. The only thing missing now is āimport OSC mrpeachā. I can see form the patch comment that this is something to do with importing the monome libraries? I canāt find an āimport OSCā object anywhere in PD extended or online though.
sorry but I donāt have a compiled patch, I just made a quick test with pd on OS X cause I donāt own an Organelle anymore.
I know itās a very silly question, but I just want to get it right: so a usb hub sends and receives midi messages as well? in this case you connect usb from grid to hub and from hub to organelle? thanks 
Yeah - hubs work fine
No worries, thanks!
i converted this
check it out ā i am hopeful it will work [because v1 was too slow]
for the 7 loops but now 
I actually have been working on an mlr-like thing as well! I dont have a monome, but Ive made a fake/almost fully-cloned āserialoscā object in pd_lua for the apc, which should be easily adaptable to any grid based controller (assuming we are working with individual midi notes for each grid button).
I use the mlr framework this person has http://www.josephbranciforte.com/pd.html.
You can see stuff here, I have a bunch to do and its all a mess, but this is functional if you clone the repo and put it on the organelle (and have an apc).
my āserialoscā code is (right now) the apcnome.pd_lua, if you all want to see what I am doing, I am going to separate out eventually all the apc specific stuff and make this more abstractā¦

Hi!
Does serial osc work on the new organelle m 3.2?
I can do the serial osc install but my grid is not recognised at the end of the installer, when it says plug / unplug your grid.
Im am powering it trough a powered usb hub as suggested, also tried plugging directly without a change.
Thanks!
Well, i cant get this one to work unfortunately. I get stuck on the last step of the install, i have tried with sudo /home/music/fw_dir/scripts/remount-rw.sh before trying to install serialosc from the organelle installer, but no luck 
When i tried loading any of the gris studies files the pure data console reports serialosc coulndt create
I had to install the files by hand and they work now.
Hi!
Thanks for the reply.
I tried modifying the install.h files and other combinations but have not got it to work unfortunately.
Any chance you could point me out to what files and to what folders i need to install the files?
Im completely lost here, thanks a lot!
much appreciated !
open the termainal
type
sudo mount -o remount, rw / [enter]
Then copy all the files to where the instal.sh says they should go
ok!
So i got it working
Many thanks!
sorry im a little confused. is there a conversion of this that you made for the organelle? If so, id love to check it out.
Iāve got no luck with my monome grids on the new Organelle M.
I installed serialosc with this intaller : https://patchstorage.com/monome-grid-apps-serialosc-installer/
The āgrid appsā provided donāt work (no error message).
When I try to load the app I was working on (first on my Mac, then ported to the Organelle) (containing the [serialosc.pd] subpatch), Iāve got a bunch of errors, cf. the screenshot.
The grid apps (kria, meadowphysics, etc.) are working on my Organelle 1 and I believe I used the same installer.
Sorry donāt have grid or anything so canāt really helpā¦ but Iād just look at each error in turn.
The recv error looks likes a network error , perhaps cannot connect to another process.
The no method error is sending a message to serialosc that it doesnāt understand
This is because your sending it % , this to me looks like a substitution error somewhere
What I would do is try sending a hard coded message to serialosc and checking you donāt get this messageā¦
If no issues then it looks like an issue with connecting to other process.
In which case you need to check to see how serialosc is being started - there are subtle differences between Raspbian and arch Linux.
What Iād do initially for testing purposes is run serialosc manually
