I am a new Organelle user (my unit is running the 1.0 firmware). I am trying to set my Organelle so that all patches receive Midi from a single midi channel.

I really appreciate the information on updating the mother.pd patch in this post:

> [@Changing MIDI Input Channel - OS 1.x](http://forum.critterandguitari.com/t/changing-midi-input-channel/994):
>
> NOTE: This post is now irrelevant due to updates implemented in OS 2.1. In OS 2.1 you can make MIDI Channel changes from the system menu! More information on OS 2.1 here: [https://www.critterandguitari.com/blogs/news/organelle-os-update](https://www.critterandguitari.com/blogs/news/organelle-os-update) If you are using the outdated OS 1.x follow these steps to change MIDI input channel on the Organelle running OS 1.x : Eject the USB drive from your Organelle and place it in a USB port on your computer. Download PureData on your computer if you have not alread…

However, as soon as I update the midi channels, none of my patches respond to the selected midi channel, and I wonder if I need to modify each individual patch. Is this the case?

Should I consider updating the system firmware for my Organelle? Is there a post describing this process?

I have loaded the mother.pd into the patches folder. However, the Organelle is no longer responding to any midi at all (I added the 1 to notein to receive on channel 1). I don’t understand why my patches no longer respond to any Midi input. When the root mother is running (removing the mother.pd from the patches folder), the Organelle receives Omni just fine. Any help would be appreciated…PM, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds strange.

Can you try this one [mother.pd](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/critterandguitari/original/1X/03ffe4aa85bf33ac86425a44babee49ab105319f.pd) (17.1 KB)

This should be receiving notes and CC on CH 1.

The strangest thing is that this mother.pd file worked like a charm. Odd…the only difference is that I did not open it in my build of Puredata which is Pd-l2ork. Maybe that was the issue. Immense thanks!
