Great, glad you got it sorted. I have a lot of Automatonism patches I need to go through and will post here when I get time.

so basically fates plus a midi keyboard can replace my organelle v1?

kinda, yeah? :slight_smile:

FWIW - I have a mechanical keyswitch keyboard (with pots) coming soon that is in the Organelle layout - so it could be used as a midi controller with orac/norns-mother + fates to do what the organelle does (I hope)

i too would like to do this too with the op1

is there a list of working and non working organelle patches?

Heya @Oxbown !

Are the MIDI Map CC numbers (28/26) for the Menu Encoder and Menu Encoder Button something standard for Organelle or Organelle patches? Or is this just something you’ve implemented in Norns Mother?

Looking at the Organelle manual - I don’t see those mapped anywhere and 26 is mentioned as “replace[ing] the current value used by the Organelle for an expression-style pedal”

Do you mean an upcoming DIY project to build such a thing?

I think they were set in the original mother.pd patch. I ran into this because I’d like to use my komplete m32 with norns mother, but the m32 stupidly has fixed cc’s . The first 4 match norns mother, but then they don’t.

It just looks so USEFUL! Very excited for this to come to fruition!

@okyeron original organelle mother has no midi input to control the Menu Encoder, but NornsMother has these controls.
I chose CC numbers 28 and 26 because I thought that they were free.

CC 28 (0 to 127) —> encoder turn
CC 26 (0 to 63) —> encoder button release
CC 26 (64 to 127) —> encoder button press

You have to edit the CC numbers manually in mother.pd (midi section)

So pokehex is definitely NOT working on fates as it does on organelle – but this dude has it working like it does on the organelle – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N1F9MoC3xE&ab_channel=mlogger

–setting the sample points does nada – i can still scroll through the pokemon and play their full sounds with button 1. I dropped the zip via sftp, not sure what I am doing wrong. other organelle patches working fine. should i redo my sidekick install? @TheTechnobear? anyone else with full pokehex functionality? i can use the encoders to set the sample points but it doesnt loop (or change the sound at all) like on organelle. fates is on a pi4b – i just deleted and added the patch same behavior

see how on the organelle it is lit up (it is looping) — on fates that functionality and the scenes functionality which would be menu encoder press on organelle (3+1 buttons on fates) doesn’t work either

it is like loop.pd and the rest inside of pokehex arent working — but i can still play the samples.

@memory
What I do is :
drop the unzipped folder in home/we/sidekick/patches/Organelle
in the main menu - press “Refresh Menu”
Then goto the Organelle folder and start the patch.
I do not load Orac to play the script.

The only difference here is I’m not on the latest version of Norns Mother

@mlogger that is exactly what i did except i think i am on the latest version of norns mother – mind telling me what version you are running?

and is there any advice on downgrading my version of norns mother?

Not sure were to find that info tbh on which version I have.

Anyway to get hdmi out working on this so we can edit pure data patches directly on the fates dac(I guess maybe norns doesn’t have hdmi out) like you would the organelle?
I’ve tried to run it and just got some illegible errors that show up on the fates screen. Nothing shows on the monitor.

There reference to it in this video (@6:50 mins) going through Orac but I have never tried. https://youtu.be/Ukzc3W_lcjk

@TheTechnobear

The video says that you should be able to just plug hdmi into fates and get a programming interface. It has a method to program for norns and fates I guess I will use that, but it would be much better to use hdmi from the fates directly.
