Learn ORCΛ

Orca is an esoteric programming language, designed to create procedural sequencers in which each letter of the alphabet is an operation, where lowercase letters operate on bang, uppercase letters operate each frame. It was created by hundred rabbits, a research studio on a sailboat.

Orca is not a synthesizer, but a flexible livecoding environment capable of sending MIDI, OSC & UDP to your audio/visual interfaces, like Ableton, Renoise, VCV Rack or SuperCollider.

For the purposes of this site, we’ve connected some drum racks and synthesizers from Enfer in the bottom right and are patching them in as virtualized midi instruments. Normally, Orca will not make sound on its own, and rather just sends messages or data to external devices or programs. Orca and Enfer are both creations of Devine Lu Linvega.
