Simple Pleasures

Another late-ish entry which means another generative jam! This time I'm using Orca, the esoteric programming language and MIDI device. https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca (and I'm using loopMIDI to send the MIDI to my DAW https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html)
Also featured in this piece is Autochroma, the granulizer by imagiro, which at it's asking price is a real steal https://imagi.ro/product/autochroma
I've used Orca before but I hadn't really tried out sending MIDI CC signals with it, so I made that a focus of this patch. It's a real delight, and Bitwig's MIDI CC modulators makes it easy to target any parameter with the signal. Part of the patch is controlling the wet/dry of Autochroma and reverb and delay on the marimba, and another part is randomizing an FX selector to add some glitchy ear candy to the sploshy marimba.
All in all the Orca patch is pretty simple and one day I'd like to figure out how to build some more complex systems using it instead of simply using (R)andom operators for generative MIDI.
