Orca
An esoteric programming language for livecoding procedural sequencers that sends MIDI, OSC, and UDP to audio/visual interfaces.
What is Orca?
Orca is an esoteric programming language and livecoding environment designed to create procedural sequencers. It uses a grid-based interface where each letter is an operator to generate sequences in real time, sending control data via MIDI, OSC, and UDP to external audio and visual software. It solves the need for a flexible, code-driven tool for experimental music and media art.
Livecoders, electronic musicians, digital artists, and educators seeking a visual, code-based sequencer for real-time performance and composition with hardware/software synthesizers and visual engines.
Developers choose Orca for its unique grid-based esoteric syntax that bridges coding and music intuitively, its lightweight cross-platform nature, and direct integration with professional audio/visual tools without being tied to a specific ecosystem.
