Hei, I'm interested of the alternatives for Nord Modular G2. Citter & Guitari Organelle looks like an interesting little instrument with nice compact form factor and convenient computer-free programming interface. How is it compared with classical computer programmed powerhouse like Nord Modular G2? Is anybody using both of these?

Re: Q: is Organelle new Nord Modular G2?
Hey, welcome to the forum
I remember reading a news about the Organelle, but I did not have in mind that it was... what iti is.
I started, once upon the time, learning PureData but ending wiping away from my music related activities all that involved patching rather than making actual music - I've been using a G2 for 11 years now.
To answer your question, to me it all comes to what's important to you (as often).
The G2 has a full size, extended interface with respect to the Organelle: 3 octave piano-sized keys with velocity and aftertouch, 8 knobs and encoders (infinite but smooth) times 15 pages, 4 ins, 4 outs, MIDI trio, pitch bend stick, modulation wheel. All that in a 6 kg, 60+cm package. That' heavy, in the Marty McFly's way of saying it
The Organelle has less in all those aspects, but it fits any handbag. That's a very goos point too if this interface is enough for you.
The G2 has a proprietary editor, not maintained anymore but with few enough bugs to be used for 98% of what the comunity can imagine. The Organelle takes advantage of PureData: huge community, possibilities even wicer than the G2's... at the price of having to learn the language, as bricks are thinner.
All in all, I would say the Organelle is a very attractive package for what it proposes at the price is proposes it. To me, the points above seem to be the ones to consider if you really want to compare it to the G2.
One may think it's an alternative to a MicroModular.
Any Organelle user?
