Hi.

How would you approach to change a value cyclically? That is a value moving from 0 to z increasing, and then from z to 0 decreasing, and so on. This is for swinging the CC value, so I want the movement to be as smooth as possible. I believe there are neater solutions.

Hi, try this for a 2 step bouncing

..Cz..Cz....
..1Bz.1B0...

....aVx.....
.#bouncing#.
.#.value..#.
...x.Va.....
.....x......

I think you’re pretty spot-on with your second attempt, but you’re using the C and I together so it might fall out of sync, try resetting the increment value like:

.......Dz....
.............
..Dz...i.....
.......c2T1z.
8.x0.....1I..
..........s.X

It seems we are about to get a orca haïku thread soon…

ok so i’m still trying to sync but getting this, like @ryu
Commander Unknown message: run
i tried sending message via node.js but it keeps quitting. trying to call script every frame might be too much.
also midi clock is currently not working in or out. it’s also hard to start clock play on mac because cmd+space is global search

i’m using not udpsend (which weirdly adds a comma) but

mxj net.udp.send

which works ok

yes, i was wondering the same thing. What happened to the u-turn ?

You don’t need a special operator if you want to make a U-turn, you can just xW it.

any idea on this, or why midi isn’t working?
it’s really a deal breaker for me as i need to send clock of some sort to the modular - usually over midi. MIDI used to work! there’s no in or out for me. i’d love to run it on a pi inbrowser but i tried that - no dice.
i’ll try building it myself and i’ll try send gates over osc to modular see if that clocks it into time.

Udp Unknown

Unknown message: “run”, any idea on this?

My guess is that like Ryu up here, you’re not sending “run”, but instead “run,” or “run " or " run”

To test this, I’ve changed the listener.js, to test this:

  • Open the latest version of Orca, and pause it.
  • Open the Inspector(Orca > Inspector)
  • Open a new terminal window.
  • Go to the listener.js script
  • Type node listener.js
  • See if the frame count has advanced, or if it has thrown a “command unknown” warning, report back to me with the result. If the framecount has advanced by 1, without showing an error, then I’m suspecting that you’re sending more than just the command.

Midi Clock

It works for me, do you press ctrl+space(Midi Start Clock) when playing your patch?

On Raspberry Pi

The Orca experience is poor on a Pi unless you have a 4B, I recommend using the Orca-c build, it’s a lot easier to use and feels a lot better than orca in a browser.

i’m definitely sending ‘run’ but it seems to be receiving 'run ’ if i use mxj net.udp.send or ‘run,’ if i use udpsend, weird…

yup seems legit

yeah or start from Midi menu. in Live the stop button greys out at this point, but the clock doesn’t start counting, so take from that what you will.

i’ll try that, thx, i’m on a 3B.

I’ve pushed a little update that parses non-aphanumeric characters from the command, making run , and run, both valid. This should also fix @ryu’s issue.

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?

1 Like

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

halp
