Introducing the Organelle S2: A Powerful and Versatile Music Computer

The Organelle S2, the latest offering from Critter & Guitari, is an updated and significantly more powerful version of the original Organelle S music computer. This innovative device is designed to be a sound processor and synthesizer, offering a wide range of possibilities for musicians and creators.

One of the key improvements in the Organelle S2 is its processor upgrade. It now runs on a 1.8 GHz ARM quad-core Cortex A53 64-bit processor, which is 50% faster than the Organelle S and almost twice as fast as the original Organelle model. This increased speed allows for smoother performance and more advanced sound processing capabilities [1][2][3][4].

Hardware tweaks have also been made to enhance the user experience. The encoders have been replaced with new versions that provide a smoother feel for better tactile control. The microSD card slot has been redesigned to prevent the card from slipping inside the device, a recurring issue in the previous design [1][2]. The oak maple keyboard and sturdy black metal enclosure remain, preserving the tactile and aesthetic qualities of the original.

The Organelle S2 is capable of running patches created in Pure Data, making it highly versatile for music creation. It can function as a synthesizer, sampler, sequencer, drum machine, effects unit, or other sound processor forms, offering a wealth of creative potential [2].

In terms of I/O and controls, the Organelle S2 retains the same hardware interface as its predecessor. This includes six encoders controlling parameters, volume, and navigation via an OLED display, a 25-key maple keyboard, MIDI in/out (TRS), dual USB-A ports, a footswitch jack, HDMI output, 1/4" stereo in/out, a headphone jack, and a built-in microphone [2].

With its improved processing power and refined hardware elements, the Organelle S2 is designed to run all existing patches smoothly while offering capacity for more advanced sound processing and expansion. The only limit to what Organelle S2 can do is the user's imagination and the instrument's beefed-up processor [1][2].

The Organelle S2 is available for purchase at a price of $499. For more information, please visit Critter & Guitari's website.
