# Tutorial
-If this is your first time hearing about Orca, watch this [introduction video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaI_TuISSJE). If you are on Windows, use something like [loopMidi](http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html) to help routing midi signal across applications.

+#### Easy Binding
To bind the [Midi CC](https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/continuous-controller/) operator(`^`) to a knob, have **Midi Mapping active**, and bang the `^00` operator, or select it and press `shift+enter`. It will assign the value of channel 0 to this knob.

## Pilot
-[Pilot](https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Pilot) is a minimalist synth software designed to work via UDP. It's designed 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 it in action.
