The original 2016 Organelle, a Linux Pure Data instrument that stopped at OS 4.0
The original Organelle is the first model of Critter & Guitari's music computer, an instrument with a wooden-key keyboard, knobs and an OLED screen that runs Pure Data patches on an embedded Linux system. New patches are loaded from a USB stick or the microSD card. Critter & Guitari now lists it in its Museum of Retired Instruments, and the later Organelle M, S and S2 have their own entry.
Organelle OS 5, the current release, does not support the original Organelle. The newest image for it is OG1-4.0 (OG1-3.1 before that), written to the microSD card with a tool such as balenaEtcher as described in section 7.1 of the user manual; flashing erases the card.
A modular environment for the Organelle built on Pure Data, where synths, effects and sequencers are ready-made modules you chain, with presets and MIDI learn.

Last official OS image for the original Organelle, a Linux disk image with the Pure Data patch loader, WiFi and the patch manager; OS 5 does not support this model.
