Tines & Reeds

Tines & Reeds is a set of 9 electric pianos for the Organelle: Rhodes, Wurlitzer, CP-80, Pianet and FM.

Sister patch: Bars & Bells – the same pages, knobs and effects, with 9 mallet instruments and bells in stereo (glockenspiel, vibraphone, marimba, xylophone, kalimba, tubular bells…): https://patchstorage.com/bars-bells/

Made for the Organelle keys, and even better on a MIDI keyboard with velocity, sustain, pitch bend and a mod wheel.

SOUNDS
1 RHODES MK1 – recorded Rhodes Mark I
2 RHODES MELLOW – the same Rhodes, warm and round
3 RHODES BARK – the Rhodes through a pushed amp
4 WURLI 200A – recorded Wurlitzer
5 WURLI DIRTY – the Wurli through a small overdriven amp
6 CP-80 GRAND – recorded Yamaha CP-80
7 PIANET T – recorded Hohner Pianet T
8 DX EPIANO – classic 80s FM piano
9 FM BELL EP – glassy FM bell piano

EFFECTS
Tremolo / stereo auto-pan, chorus, phaser, drive, wah, delay and reverb.

CONTROLS
– Encoder: turn = change page (wraps around), press = Organelle menu
– Pages: SOUND · MOD FX · AMP + SPACE · PLAY · KEYS
– Hold AUX for sustain when you don’t have a pedal (the LED lights while sustain is on)
– Values are drawn as bars, and settings with only a few choices as choice segments; knobs use soft takeover, so nothing jumps when you change page

MIDI
– Notes with velocity on the Organelle’s MIDI channel
– Sustain (CC64) or any footswitch in the Organelle’s jack (polarity detected automatically)
– Pitch bend, range 0-12 semitones
– Mod wheel (CC1): Vibrato, Tremolo, Tone, Drive, Wah, Chorus, Phaser or Tremolo Rate
– CC21-24 control knobs 1-4

NOTES
The samples load in a few seconds when the patch starts. Pure Data vanilla, no externals.

NEW IN v2.4.3
– Pitch bend: letting the wheel spring back by itself (fast) always lands exactly in tune, even if the keyboard’s last message arrives off centre

NEW IN v2.4
– New SETUP page: KNOBS, AUX, OUTPUT, VOLUME
– Tremolo up to 20 Hz and a better DRIVE
– No clicks when you turn knobs or switch SOUND; footswitches like the Yamaha FC5 / FC3 work every time

    mchest mattarrera thank you both, glad you’re enjoying it! 🙂

    Nice patch, sounds great. Dx EPiano and FM bell ep doesn’t sound, there’s no samples with those names in Sample folder. How can I add a sample and name it to add those sounds? Thanks

  • gur_shulman on said:

    3deye unlike the other sounds, DX and Bell are synthesized and not sampled. When choosing those sounds you don’t get any output at all?

    Fantastic patch would love to have an octave control
    and the pedal (yamaha FC5) isn’t working, it lights the aux button and cut the sound when it’s not pushed same behavior for steelie

  • gur_shulman on said:

    3deye found it! DX EPIANO and FM BELL EP used a function that older Organelle OS versions don’t have, so they stayed silent there. Fixed in v2.1 – nothing to add to the samples folder. Thanks for reporting!

  • gur_shulman on said:

    gregosaure thanks! Both done in v2.1: the footswitch polarity is now detected automatically, so the FC5 works the right way round (also fixed in Steelie v2.3, where it was cutting the volume). And there’s a new KEYS page with OCTAVE, TRANSPOSE and a PEDAL setting. Let me know how it goes!

    gur_shulman Thanks, what a beauty sound from both DX Epiano and FM Bell Ep. Love this patch.

  • gregosaure on said:

    Thks gur, the FC5 works good now but when a footswitch is in, the aux button cannot be used for anything else , it lights when it’s pressed for sustain and that’s all…same for steelie
    While I’m in BigBotttom is so good, would be cool to have some kind or arpeggiator ala play
    and a reverb
    Really great work thks

  • gregosaure on said:

    my bad its works perfectly, so is steelie
    thks again gur
