[UPDATED JULY 2021]
Organelle has become one of the most interesting and inspiring instrument over the last few years. Many musicians and sound designers appreciate the ease of use and the huge library of pre-made instruments and effects (patches) available within the community. But Organelle is not just a very versatile and easy to use musical instrument. Since it runs pure Data, a visual programming language, the possibilities are endless for those who know how to program it. The aim of this book is to teach the basics for Pure Data and its integration within the Organelle. Starting from the very basics, the reader will be guided through the process of learning how to program Pure Data patches specifically designed to run on the Organelle, taking advantage of its interface, knobs and buttons to get the best out of it. Chapter one is an introduction to structure and the integration between Organelle and Pure Data. The second chapter is a general introduction to Pure Data and it’s basics: what a patch is, how to create new patches, types of objects and the general principles of operation. In the third chapter the reader is guided through practical examples inside the processes needed to make patches on the instrument itself with 14 different Guided exercises. Chapter four and five are two complete projects: a MIDI step sequencer and a Delay effect. The book has a companion website where patches and updates are and will be posted. |
