Damn, this is cool. I just looked up Orca and it seem like a pretty wild concept.  So you use that to program the sequences, then it sends the signal to a synth?  Is it intuitive to use or do you really need to learn a programming language to use it?

Lovely.

Lovely.

Nice use of Orca! I'm also hoping to learn enough of this to make a WB with it this year.

Thanks! Yeah its a cool bit of software. You're correct, Orca is sending out midi which is routed to some soft synths in Ableton.
Its fairly easy to learn. You definitely need to look at the tutorials and examples before diving in but once you understand a few of the basic tools you can already do some interesting things. No need for any programming experience at all! I'd say it feels similar to visual programming things like Max or Pd but with nowhere near as many 'objects' to learn. I'm far from proficient at it but I really love having it in my toolkit.

Thank you! Yessss you should definitely do it! Would love to hear what you come up with!

Haha thanks so much, yes not much ebb here. It'd never have occurred to me in those terms but thats a great observation.
