Critter & GuitariOrganelle S Programmable Digital Synthesizer (Black)

Critter & Guitari Organelle S

Organelle S from Critter & Guitari is a highly programmable device for creating synth and sampler patches as well as real-time audio processing, all done with the flexibility of Pure Data. Exactly like the Organelle M in almost every way, the Organelle S shaves off the battery compartment and the speaker for a slightly lower price and a return to the form factor of the original Organelle. But the Organelle S shines just as bright in its processing and performability, showcasing a stellar ARM processor, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of storage, and a full-fledged version of Linux for performing and editing your PD patches right from the device! Easily find or create subtractive, FM, and granular synths, drum machines, sampler instruments, and even processors like reverbs, delays, EQs, vocoders, and much much more. If you have nothing but the Organelle, you can easily sample straight into the device via the onboard microphone for either real-time processing or capturing for further manipulation.

Organelle S's onboard keyboard makes for a solid way to play out chords, melodies, basslines, and even drum patterns, while the four assignable knobs can be used for filter sweeps, ADSR control, or whatever you need to wiggle. The MIDI I/O offers immediate outboard access to synchronizing as well as performing both your Organelle S and outboard gear—download or patch up a highly flexible sequencer to playback multiple instruments straight from the Organelle S. If you don't want to create your own patches from scratch, there is an immense library of patches available online for you to dive into and find the best ones to fit your needs. Transfer these patches from your computer over a USB drive via one of the two USB type-A ports or attach the USB WiFi dongle, a mouse, and a monitor via the HDMI port for immediate access to web-browsing for patches straight from the Organelle S!

For all the power you get in such a neat and small form factor and solid price-point, the Organelle S can be anything you want or need to best enhance your musical experience.
