Babycastles Academy: Intro to Livecoding with ORCA

Ойындар

Babycastles Academy is the education arm of Babycastles. Join us on Sunday afternoons at 3pm for workshops and jam sessions. Learn new skills. Make new friends.
Join Maxwell Neely-Cohen for a tutorial on using esoteric programming language ORCA to sequence and generate music. Almost reminiscent of John Conway's Game of Life or Dwarf Fortress, ORCA allows a unique approach to music making and programming, building rhythms and melodies out of shifting alphanumeric characters.

    I really don't understand why every single tutorial of Orca take for granted all the midi settings and midi ports conexions, I cannot make it sound. Would you tell me how to do this? I am using cassetter and pilot, but there is no trace of how I can do this. Thanks,.

    I noticed that too. I'm planning to make a series of short tutorials on each Orca operator. I'll take your note and make a video on how the midi/udp communication in orca works

    Same here. I got it to work with an external synth through a midi interface. It just automatically recognize it. However, I cannot get it to recognize my sift synths installed in the same computer! I am suspecting that the solution is not in Orca but somewhere in the OS or the VST midi configuration. I am hoping to connect Chromaphone with Orca but Chromaphone does not see Orca as a midi input neither Orca sees Chromaphone as a midi device.

    This is like the 7th or 8th tutorial I've looked and for the life of me I STILL can't figure out how to get it to actually make noise! I tried downloading and running that Pilot software, but Orca still doesn't seem to see it. So what am I doing wrong? And Why do I seem to be one of the only people anywhere who suffers from this issue every time? It's like there's a secret club for easily understanding MIDI and stuff and almost everyone else is part of that club except me and few others. It's SERIOUSLY frustrating. Hahaha

    Hey, what is your problem exactly? You will need to have a MIDI instrument running back. Are you on Linux or Mac? If you are on Windows you will need some kind of virtual midi software to routing Orca to some software synth/sampler, or, if you have some hardware synth, connect Orca to it.

    @@Lucaslv Turned out to be stupidly simple! When using a software synth like Pilot, you need to use a ; instead of a :. It took me and friend over an hour of messing around before he finally noticed that. I spent probably 4 hours searching for info and, even though it was listed in a document, none of the tutorials I was searching through actually mentioned that at all. Largely my fault for not seeing it, but I wonder how many other people might have given up before finding that...

    You choose a sample from the list and hit it with !00 because thats how you play the sample, you can alter other things with 01,02,03 etc. You can change input-output with ctrl + , and ctrl + .
