Tjena tjena älskar dina videor. Eftersom vi ändå har samma namn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNJUxdvGFrbnWjCxGCA3oqA) undrade jag om du vet hur man connectar orca och pilot?

hahaha, att du fanns här, har ju sett dig på youtube!

har ingen koll på pilot, men borde inte va svåre än att instalera och skicka “;xxxx” istället för “:xxxxx”

Har bara skickat midi från orca till ableton/hårdvara

has anybody been able to successfully sequence VCV rack with Orca WHILE using a midi hardware controller (on Win10 using loopMIDI)? My VCV rack keeps crashing when I add the controller to midi - cc

ORCA csound pilot
midi : and udp ; operators, same patch

A quick test was successful on my end, and I think that I’ve successfully used such a setup before, as well.

Does it happen a fresh patch with nothing plugged in to the MIDI modules? Does it crash immediately upon selection of the second MIDI device? Or does it happen when things get busy? The only thing I can think of is low specs or a buggy module. Otherwise there’s this little performance issue that’s being fixed on the horizon:

But that should only effect audio interfaces as far as I know.

Quick question - can I get midi CC inputs into Orca from a controller

#775

Has anyone figured out how to make a snare drum sound using Pilot?

As far as I can tell, no. This is something I’ve been wanting badly and thought that ORCA’s document used to have a note receiving operator; although I was likely mistaken about that, it certainly isn’t there now.

The only comparable thing I can think of is to use a lower case increment operator (i) and manually trigger it if, for instance, you just want to cycle through values in the process of construcing a sequence or something, though this is obviously limited in terms of direction and a singular cursor position (certainly there are workarounds for these limitations, but none that quite compare to turning knobs or pushing sliders).

#777

What would you use that for? Or at least, what would be your ideal usecase so I can better understand what you have in mind?

#778

My friend, I appreciate your assistance in the matter.

I’ve narrowed the issue down to two culprits whom refuse to work together within VCV Rack:

loopMIDI & 16n controller

With loopMIDI running, the introduction of 16n crashes VCV Rack immediately.

Of course the 16n operates fine on VCV Rack without loopMIDI running.

Are there any alternatives to loopMIDI for bridging orca to VCV Rack? Any professionals care to weigh in on potentially helpful settings which will allow resolution and unity between these two sworn problem children? Perhaps I am missing a 16n driver?

Best wishes

For example I might have a Euclidean operator and assign the step level to a fader to control density. So I’d need a way to grab 0-127 from the CC (or OSC or UDP), then to scale it to 0-16 (say) for the step.
It might be interesting to assign multiple values in a patch to one fader as a macro control.
Later, maybe it would be possible to slide a selected block east and west with a CC.
I remember asking Alex a similar question re: TidalCycles and it does feel a bit like crossing / mixing the paradigms, so I understand if it’s not something you’d consider.

#780

Oh! I actually do that during my sets. It’s not very hard, there’s a whole part of orca designed to do just that :slight_smile: Depending how you work, it shouldn’t be too hard to setup. If you have puredata or max, it’s very easy.

You want to send your midi controller knob values to max/pd/etc, and route this to orca(like Ryu was doing), but basically, what you want to do is send UDP commands to orca when you turn the knob.

If you send write:4;2;3, it will put "4", at x2,y3.

  • Read your midi knob, with max/pd/etc.
  • Send UDP “write” message, to orca.

Getting same results with orca pi to modular. It’ll set the run light on but no clock out.
As for speed on the pi I’m happy with it in pi 3B. I’m only sending midi.

as for using Live Link sending the run command, i’m getting better results

so the left outlet resets the frames every bar, and the right outlet bangs every beat so keeps the frames ticking over.
the reset isn’t instant like it misses this bar so at 112bpm i give a delay of 900ms to keep it in sync and the frames i give a delay of 9ms to allow for latency… will post a video of it in action later…

Fantastic, just about got it working. The trick was escaping the semicolons in the write command:
