is 60 the (s)lowest current possible bpm in ORCA?

Same result. No MIDI Clock.

I get Start/Stop messages and Note On/Off. Nothing else.

#792

Same here. I can’t get clock signals into or out of ORCA using VCV Rack, which is strange considering I’ve been able to go both ways successfully with Bitwig.

#793

MIDI clock is broken, i really need this fixed too!

#794

Midi clock is not something I’m familiar with, nor use myself with orca. I don’t have any DAW or hardware that support midi clock sync either, so the implementation is mostly guessing at how I think things work.

I’ve just pushed a little update that might address the issue tho. Could you update, and make sure you’re on v168 and see if when you start the midi clock play(ctrl/cmd+space) it sends midi clock signal?

Let me know what happens :slight_smile:

The code that sends the burst of midi clock message is located here if you wanna have a look at it.

anyone got http://www.deflemask.com/
on separate midi channels?
it’d be cool to have different chips on separate midi channels for ORCA
here’s one (game boy)

So wait, how did you get the different MIDI channels controlling the different chip channels? I seem to be hearing at least pulse and noise channels simultaneously and have never figured that out in Deflemask, as MIDI from all channels seems to merely follow the cursor and whatever instrument is selected at the time.

exactly, it seems like it would be cool to send midi to different channels
new to me, stoked to get it working at all on linux
this was same orca patch, change instrument to gameboy in DefleMask
messed with some of the presets :slightly_smiling_face:

Did a pull last night and it didn’t seem to work for me. I’ll try some stuff later.

#801

How can I make sure if I am on the v168 of ORCA?

I am also having trouble with properly syncing ORCA and Ableton together. So far i have tried to come up with a Max for live ORCA sync device that uses Abletons Api and UDP to sync the two programs together, but I am getting some very annoying latency problems that I am trying to solve.

#802

The Max for live patch that I am currently trying to use for syncing Ableton with ORCA is on the left. The test-results of recording MIDI into Ableton is on the Right.

As it is apparent with the tests, there is a lot of inconsistent latency issue between having send ableton api “set record_mode 1” message and starting ORCA at the same time. on average the MIDI signal is recorded one step later in a 4/4 bar loop at 120 BPM.

I don’t know where to go from here, I have tried using delays, different configurations of Link, it seems that no matter how go about the problem, it’ll always be more or less one step late. Super frustrating!

Am I over complicating things here? Is there a better solution for what I am trying to do? How can I get ORCA and Ableton to be synced, and for the MIDI not to have any or decreased latency?

#803

When you launch Orca, it should say at the bottom left of the screen, it’s only there for a second, if you missed it, just reset the frame count.

I don’t have MAX nor Ableton to test this, but if you’re just trying to sync the bpm, have you tried Midi > Play/Pause with c-Space? That will send midi clock to ableton. If you pause Ableton, when starting the orca patch, it will also start Ableton as well(or at least it should).

Edit: I’ve updated to v169, and added that when the clock is sending midi messages, it displays a different color!

ahh ok thank you, yeah now I see that I am on v168 of ORCA cool!

hmm… yeah, I have been able to sync BPM no problem using the max for live patch, it is more having them start at the exact same time, every time that bothers me. I will definitely try out c-space, who knows it might be fun! :slight_smile:

It’s cool, we got you covered, Orca-c compiles on WinXP, midi works.

And win98? Not a joke.

I don’t think that’ll be possible, but while we’re talking about retro things.

Ah, also, I pushed a bit update to Orca this morning that fixes/improves various things.

This is great. How’s the fm sound? I’ll get some vids going with mega drive and c64 and opl3 soon. Just getting the pi to output analogue video first. Oh and some stuff about runes :wink:
