I find that the more Orca videos that I watch, the more confused I become 😂 It is a fascinating system. I would love to understand it as well as you clearly do, one day
it can be pretty confusing, but honestly, if you watch the first 30 seconds or so, where they are building the easts flowing to the right, that is the rhythm and (with modification later) the chord in the synthesizer, and it gets built on the fly. most of the later components are dropped in with copy and paste from a different copy of orca and then there's a lot of, basically, knob twiddling that is based on knowing which cell corresponds to the key features of the machine they've built. If you watch 10-15m of an intro to orca video, you can follow the high level moves here, but the actual song was done in advance and this is a performance, not strictly "live coding". it is awesome and sounds awesome, i don't mean to denigrate the work on display here, but a lot of the moves being done can't be done "in real time" by typing because they involve dropping 30 character constructs in a single keystroke.
the core synth rhythm, that is, that is built at the beginning. the complex drumnbass rhythm is one of the machine components that gets dropped in later (and in fact, cut and pasted back in a few times to pull that stuff in and out, in a really tasty drop that happens at least a couple times)
There are some helpful tutorial videos on Orca now-a-days to help you get the basic concepts. I found Allieway Audio's tutorial was quite a good intro.
awesome performance fellow orcan. thank *YOU* for the inspiration for a newbie here.

cool stuff, i just started learning orca today. i wonder how the "!" additions at 0:58 are used
the docs suggests that it sends a midi signal change, there is a video that explains it pretty well here : ua-cam.com/video/7K0g-Rx2Shs/v-deo.html
Orca is the greatest thing since sliced bread
This is pretty awesome. I'm surprised this program doesn't get more attention.
What synths did you use for the main arpeggio? I love it a lot!
A bit late to the party and damn this is great
I love how you arranged the song by pasting and deleting the parts 😀
I thought I got it but then noise started happening and then I got confused
If I was at all decent at programming or good at making music, trying to figure out how to get this stuff to make noise at all would be heccin rad
Amazing performance! It seems like it has quite some programming behind it yet looks and sounds really cool!
radical
great one nice
👍🏻
First I thought it is a tracker, than I realised it is doing some other weard stuff, so I think it is something completely different.
