    In particular - theres a music environment called Orca that is such a great fit for a Roguelike, and porting it to Rust might be a fun medium-size project.

  • Is there a simple music sequenzer or tracker for linux?
    5 projects | /r/linux | 17 Dec 2021
    Hello, I am interested in a simple tool to make simple music on linux. If possible in the terminal but at least with extensive keyboard support. I am aware, that the 'best' option in all likelihood would be an actual DAW like LMMS, but I get easily overwhelmed with the options and there is so much to learn. I would like to be limited, because I believe, that being limited can help your creativity. So I would rather like something like a pocket operator. I could not really find something, so I emulated lsdj, which is a tracker for the gameboy, but you can of course emulate it on linux. It is a very impressive program and doing all this on a gameboy must be mindblowing, but on desktop, through an emulator.. in mine the sound sometimes was overwehelmed and sitting on a keyboard and only using four buttons seems a little bit silly. The closest I found would be orca, which is truely fascinating, but a) it is rather experimental and esotheric and b) you still need an actual sound source like a synth (I enjoyed Helm). The same developer made a program called Marabu, which looks awesome, but it is no longer being maintained and I was unable to get it running.
  • How to set up ORCA with a synthesizer with absolutely no knowledge about any of this?
    2 projects | /r/synthesizers | 25 Nov 2021
    So, I'd like to learn ORCA, but as far as I understood it needs additional software for it to work. I've already tried VCVRack, SunVox and Pilot, but none of them worked for me (Because I have no idea how to use them). I couldn't find any easy beginners guide on how to set everything up. I already know the basics about MIDI and music theory. Also, I'm doing this all on Linux.
