ORCA Semigenerative Jam
Музыка
My friend Benny and I were experimenting with partner live coding ORCA jams over Zoom. Kinda the perfect thing for quarantine jam sessions and we're about 400 miles apart on top of that. I took the bones from that jam spruced them up a little bit, dropped in some drums and tried a live session on my own. Here I have ORCA routing midi to Ableton with some simple effects. I'm new to both Ableton and ORCA so it's been a very good learning experience (aka: this took way longer than it should haha). I haven't found a workflow to trigger things in time easily so that's part of the reason this jam lasted so long, probably could have been closer to 6 mins if I knew what I was doing. I did a lot in Ableton but since I was just using my mouse you can tell there are a few slips and sections often run a little long since I'm searching for the damn buttons lol. I'm sure all that can be fixed with a little practice with ORCA's commands and a midi controller for Ableton knobs and such.
ORCA is a very peculiar sequencer but got to love that esoteric Terminal Matrix vibe. 👾🎶
@EZBOT taught me how to get the colors to fade which is very nice. I basically copied the patch in the vid here.

Oh cool, I didn't know you could block one direction of traffic with another like that! Cool technique!
Beautiful.

That's very kind, thank you.
The whole East South Collision to block bangs is a pretty cool trick.

@@romineification yeah, me too, but I was actually dropping E's from a generator and the downward movement was blocking. East South blocking definitely looks cleaner.

@@romineification I've seen some people underlay images and video below the changing code - not sure if that's in post-production or not, but perhaps if your OS supports window transperancy you could try that + a solid-colored, clean desktop.

I used Ableton's free trial. Couldn't save anything so not really sure what instruments and effects I used other than the drums which were equivalent 808.

Hey, sorry, I'm not sure how to find help on this... but, how exactly is the color changing working?

I basically copied the code line for line in EZ-BOT's vid linked in the description. You can read it better in his vid for sure. If you DM I can dig up the file file for this patch and send you a download link.

@@romineification if you have it handy, it'd be cool to play with it. I just started a few days ago getting some cool stuff going. All of my screens are super ugly though with E's and S's flying everywhere with things just kinda randomly sprawled out on the grid. Need to get to the next level and make things that are much better organized. Have you tried sequencing external gear with Orca yet?

@@davearnold4426 I dropped it in here. LMK if you have any issues downloading. You'll have to route the midi if you want to use the musical elements but if you're just interested in the color changing you can basically just copy paste the code in the upper right onto anything. I haven't tried doing external gear yet but I want to! mega.nz/file/4ARglDSD#pS258lzz_OtjudxGBBkbGTvQLnxMnJW1od3NFU1COBg
