-Using Orca with [SonicPi](http://sonic-pi.net) is quite simple, all it really needs is to send OSC via port `4559`. Learn how to [select the Orca OSC Port](https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca#osc). SonicPi listened to channels defined in `sync`, to send to this live loop, use the OSC node `=`, like `=a`.
