Got a Critter & Guitari Organelle last week. Great fun and very immediate. Also, knowing it runs on Linux makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. =)

And plays well with OP1 I suspect?! I’ve got both too but not hooked them up yet.

On paper this really sounds like a dreamy combo.

My new addition the Akai MPD218. I’ve already used it to sync up some original beats out of garage band into the Op1. Makes a big difference over smashing at a piece of glass.

Picked up a DX7 today- a lifetime of learning

Zvex Lo-Fi Junky (Thanks @Artsutanov). Pairs up nice with recent Organelle :)
Excellent, this pedal should totally fit your style, mate :D

Couldn’t access the video for some reason…

The OP1! Should be here on Wednesday. I haven’t been this excited for new gear since I got my first electric guitar. I’ve even been getting my guitar chops back up just for the OP1.

Thanks to @Callofthevoid for the trade.

But I have to admit I’ve sold the Rainbow Machine already. Just wasn’t my thing.

But at least I’m pretty much pedal free now, which was the original plan.

I hope you’re enjoying the Zvex.

Digging the zvex mate, thanks again :slight_smile:

Yeh that rainbow machine pedal never found a permanent spot on my board. Pretty niche pedal! Had it given to me and not sure it’s something I’d ever have kept hold of either if I’d bought it. Glad you managed to sell fast after not gelling with it :slight_smile:

@lyingdalai yep the lofi junky’s a nice fit :wink: I pulled that video after that quick jam I’d filmed turned in to something I’m gonna use :wink:

Yeah, both midi send and receive work without any configuration. The default is MIDI both directions, which causes interesting (musical!) effects. But it's easy enough to change the MIDI receive channel on both devices...

How about midi clock or song position? I have been on the fence for a while on the organelle. OP-Z waiting is growing tired.

Some of the patches support MIDI clock, and Pure Data has some libraries to support MIDI song position, but I haven’t seen any patches made or adapted for Organelle that have song position support built in. At the moment, there’s brilliant effects patches to route your audio through, and a lot of synths and samplers, often with simple built-in MIDI sequencers.


Wannop from the C&G forum has three videos about how to play OP-1 & Organelle together, might be a worthwhile to take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21f38s3aYJM&t=28s.

At the moment, Organelle’s strengths are in the audio mangling department I think, but it could go anywhere, depending on the community and what kinds of patches they make.

One advantage over Axoloti (to me at least!) is that people tend to share patches ready to play, and not components that you have to assemble together yourself.

This just arrived a few minutes ago. Not a purchase, but rather a very nice gift from a complete stranger, arranged by a couple of dear friends. Such kindness there is in this world! I haven’t had the chance to look inside yet, but I assume it will need some restoration.




Well, my latest purchase is what lead me to this forum.
I’ve got an OP-1 on the way. I’m very excited for a new interesting way to sketch out musical ideas.

Just backed the Field Kit FX.

These are my new toys…


(and yes, small QA issue…)


Empress Echosystem dual engine delay. Will pair it up with the 0-coast.

Sh-01a ! I needed something more to get back in my home studio since I had not enough time ( or didn’t take time) last weeks (months…)

@LyingDalai thank you for the motivation my pal :wink:

Hehe, my pleasure dear… You’ll have fun !!

analog four mkii on order…


was eyeing the original since it was released, the mkii plus some extra $$ i had sealed the deal…

Nice! Congrats :slight_smile: Interested in this one too… The new distortion/ui tweaks and the CV + separate outs seems like a great small footprint box to go with my AK (I love the synth but constantly run out of voices/tracks on it) and Dom1 (has a bunch of CV in/out… Be cool to finally dabble in modular kind of territory… AK has CV out but not in. Been too busy to check that out so far tho)… I’m equally as tempted to grab a mki and hold off for a bit tho… They’re going for under £600 on eBay atm :confused: but I have a feeling I’ll buckle and get the mkii on finance next month…

yeah, I thought about going for a mki, but the better sound, individual outs, and overall (to me) better look, seemed like reason enough to get a mkii new

Yeh, think I’m prob on the same path, mkii looks great. Enjoy!
