YouTube user Allieway Audio has started posting a series of great tutorials and introductory videos for Orca:

To give a bit of context the primary creator of this project has been essentially living off a sailboat for the past few years and has traveled some 28000km around the world in the process. More info at their site at https://100r.co/ :)




The introduction by Allieway really helped the ORCA software click with my understanding. She explained the grid and the various objects and their composition such that as someone who has never used a live-programming environment everything just made sense.

ORCA looks like a lot of fun now that I understand how things work.


Yes these are great to start with.

On osx the fastest way I found to get sound happening was to download and run SimpleSynth - orca detected SimpleSynth and I had sounds playing.
