If this is your first time trying out **Orca**, watch this [introduction video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaI_TuISSJE).
+## General
+
+- On OSX, setup [IAC virtual MIDI buses](https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209774225-Using-virtual-MIDI-buses).
+- On Windows, setup [loopMidi](http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html).
+- On Linux, setup [qjacktl](https://qjackctl.sourceforge.io/).
+
+## Ableton Live
+
+To send [Midi notes](https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca#midi) to [Ableton Live](https://www.ableton.com/en/) instruments, bang the Midi operator `:`, like `:03C` to send to _Channel 1, Octave 3, Note C_. Have a look at [midi.orca](https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca/blob/master/examples/_midi.orca) to see it in action.
+
+- Launch Ableton Live.
+- Create a new **midi instrument** track.
+- Select `IAC Driver(Bus 1)`(OSX), or `LoopMidi`(Windows), in the instrument's inputs dropdown.
+- Activate the **In** toggle, on the instrument track.
+
+## Bitwig
+
+The following is taken from this page: https://answers.bitwig.com/questions/1218/how-do-i-get-midi-inout-of-bws-on-linux
+
+- Quit Bitwig if running.
+- Start `qjacktl`.
+- Go to _Setup > Settings > Parameters_ and set MIDI Driver to "none" (this turns off jack-midi)
+- Go to Setup > Misc and check "Enable ALSA Sequencer Support" (if not enabled)
+- Stop Jack if running and quit gjackctl
+- Run sudo modprobe snd_virmidi midi_devs=1 (to enable virtual midi with one device which is easier to understand for now)
+- Start qjacktl
+- Start jack
+- Open Connections: Connect device on left "0: QuNexus MIDI 1" to "0:VirMIDI 5-0"
+- Open Bitwig
+- Under Options > Preferences > Controllers click "Add controller manually"
+- Choose "Generic MIDI Keyboard"
+- Once it appears as an input choose "Virtual Raw MIDI/1"

## SonicPi
To send [OSC messages](https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca#osc) to [SonicPi](http://sonic-pi.net), select [port 4559](https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca#osc). SonicPi listens to the address defined in `sync`, to send to the `live_loop`, bang the OSC node `=`, like `=a`. Have a look at [sonicpi.orca](https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca/blob/master/examples/projects/sonicpi.orca) to see it in action.

## Pilot
[Pilot](https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Pilot) is a minimalist synth software designed to work via UDP, and to quickly get started with Orca. Remember that **Pilot uses UDP instead of MIDI**. Have a look at [pilot.orca](https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca/blob/master/examples/projects/pilot.orca) to see how it should be used.
