STEPMOTHER

Organelle desktop mother patch with extra functionality.
I made this to run on a raspberry pi 3 with a small touchscreen, but works well on other platforms with a computer keyboard and/or mouse.
100% vanilla PD, no externals needed.
New features:
– Integrated sequencer. Same functionality (and for the most part code) as the one in ‘Nice Surprises’ and other patches, controlled by ‘delete’ key or buttons.
– Parameters can be edited via the arrow keys (tapping left/right selects parameter, tap or hold up down to change the value)
– Parameter messages are shown in symbol boxes on-screen with spaces replaced by underscores (note; if you have more than 6 spaces this may not work, but could be easily extended)
– Extended the computer keys to midi notes range (second octave can be played on lower row, top row goes up to ‘]’)
– Filtered keyboard keys so you won’t get multiple notes triggered by holding down a key. Only works in windows ( in linux you can run ‘xset r off’ to do this). I’ve found this also prevents stuck notes in windows
– Octave shift for keyboard keys. Page up and page down will shift the octave, the number box can also be changed directly with the mouse.
– Shrunk down important elements to fit on a small screen
– Built in Oscilloscope (with buttons to stop and start)
Increased audio gain and input gain
Note: does not support the multipage format yet.
I’ve included a small script that can be used in Linux that launches a gui to choose the patch folder and launch Pd. It uses zenity which should be available on most Linux systems.

    hey this look great, looking forward to checking it out – the stuck note /key thing drives me crazy when debugging!

    oh man, this is a required download. the stuck note fix was a huge pain in the workflow, and that alone makes it a worthwhile patch. but it the improved layout, on top of all the other changes really make this great. really gonna make it easier to jump into patch creation.
