#febrajam #17
Back to #orca with #sunvox again (my brain is not working right for puredata today). File is too big for my instance, so it is on youtube.
This time I used #uxn version of orca and again tried to automate it. But it has smaller working area than C version, so I did it differently and almost succeeded. I feel wrong when for doing it, haha, as if I'm breaking the rules.

@neauoire Oh thats good.
Also, orca-toy behaves a little different from orca-c. For example, C_=C1 in orca-toy, while in orca-c it is C_=C8. And same with D, D_=D1 in orca-toy, D_=D4 in orca-c.
But you probably know that yourself.

yeah, personally I prefer that it is C1, so I've kept it like that for the orca version. A note without an octave value is kind of an undefined event, there probably should be a standard. For a while, I didn't do an event until ch/octave/pitch was non-null.

@neauoire Also looks like different versions send different velocity value. In toy version it is much lower.
in reply to vacuumbeef

Oh that's odd tho, I'll have a look, that COULD be a bug. I send the notes to my MPC and the velocity handling is a bit strange on it.
in reply to vacuumbeef

I'm not sure what I should look for in the video, what's odd? the colorization?
in reply to vacuumbeef

aah! yes. Orca-c starts at -1 octave, and OrcaJS starts at 1. There isn't really a concensus on what we should use. In orca.rom, it's easy to change, I can show you how if you like. OrcaJS is not deprecated but I've just fallen out of writing javascript.

@neauoire Ah okay I got it. But it's okay, -1 fits me more, I just thought there is something wrong in OrcaJS.
It would be better to decide best defaults to make all versions equal sometime in the future. Personally, I feel like uxn version is the most sane.
in reply to vacuumbeef

Oh it's because of how I round the velocity without decimal points.. I think I can fix this 😀
in reply to vacuumbeef

wait, wait, wait.

You can use it with #uxn?!
Where can I read more?
