I have a feeling there must be a patch already, but as I couldn’t find it I wrote this. Very simple, plug a USB Midi keyboard into the Organelle, and standard MIDI out cable to your hardware synth.
Set the output channel, octave up/down, transpose and play.
I’ve sent the ‘pitch bend’ out as well. And there’s a handy feature for when the notes get stuck on - as they do in midi. Hold the Aux button and it sends ‘0’ velocity i.e. note off to every note.
Thanks Bly. The simplest patch in the world, but handy and I’m using it a lot at the minute.
I might spice it up with a neat midi recorder that I wrote on PC at the minute - it’s a free-form (non quantised) but the trick is you can set an exact bpm and note length e.g. 16 quarter notes at 120 bpm - so you can record/loop in the moment to match a track exactly without having to send it midi clock and all that.
Problem with the usual seq3 looper on Organelle is that it’s free-running without clock sync so you have to be super-exact with hitting the end of the loop, like with a looper pedal.
That’s How I’m doing it now in my patch (more or less…). patches I have done experiments with coll in order to have polyphony and also “unquantized recording” & to be able to store the sequences as text but I started experiencing crashes in the organelle so I abandoned that idea…
That patch looks fab, much more sophisticated than my midi looper I will try it for sure! Thanks!
The key thing for me is being able to dial in an exact loop length in X beats at an integer tempo Y, as I’m using it to accompany other tracks.
Rather than add my simple looper to this patch, I may instead just add a midi clock out function. Then I can do the phrases and arpeggios at the synth end. That would use up my remaining 4th knob without having to go to a multi-page patch.
