ambient guitar v1.1

Inspired by Chords of Orion and the frankly mesmerising ambient guitar work on his YouTube channel I have created a guitar effects chain based on his inferred guidance.

Chain:
Compressor -> Distortion -> Delay -> Reverb with a looper before the delay.

Features:
– The first 6 white keys are for accessing the pages. Hold an effects page and press AUX button to bypass it (delay and reverb tails will still ring out).
– The first 3 black keys are for looper functions.
– An expression pedal controls volume input for swells.
– There’s a LPF to the input as my guitar is quite noisy, there’s a slider in the main.pd file to change the cutoff frequency if it doesn’t suit anyone’s taste.

I have a MIDI guitar pedal on the way so will add some extra mappings when it arrives. :)

Thanks to @thetechnobear and @jasl from the Organelle forums for helping sort some case sensitivity issues! :)

Thanks:
– Marco Baumgartner for looper (ported to Organelle by spoitras, see http://forum.critterandguitari.com/t/audio-looping-on-the-organelle/159/3)
– Critter & Guitari for distortion, delay and reverb effects (from their 13 FX patch)
– Varun Nair for compressor (http://designingsound.org/2013/06/tutorial-a-compressor-in-pure-data/)
– Chords of Orion (https://www.youtube.com/user/chordsoforion)

    I love that youtube channel. I have been building a pedal board to do what you just did with the organelle. I’m gonna plug mine in and have some fun! Thanks for your hard work :)

    Thank you very much for this patch. It can make som hypnotizing sounds.

    A little feedback – I tried moving it to the patch folder on the SD card (OS version 3.1), but when I use it from there there is no output. If it is on the usb it works just fine.

    Same here, no output if installed on the sd card .

  • dhoinjo on said:

    no output here neither. Will try using an usb stick and see if it works with that…

    Organelle-M installed on SD card no output.

  • pfig on said:

    I meant to update and forgot: this is due to the file system on the SD card being case-sensitive – there is a case mismatch between some file references in the patch and the acutal file names on disk. If you unzip this and load the patch into Pd it’s obvious where to make changes.

  • pfig on said:

    For future reference, the files that need to be lowercase are:

    * Dclip.pd -> dclip.pd
    * StereoDelay.pd -> stereodelay.pd
    * Reverb.pd -> reverb.pd

    LOVE THIS PATCH!
    Is there a way to “clear” the looper? It seems to keep the old content no matter what I do…

    Hi, love that you are enjoying the patch. Sadly I haven’t got an Organelle anymore so I can’t check, but obviously you can programme your own if it isn’t already a “feature”.

    Cheers, Grant
