If you are using [Pilot](http://github.com/hundredrabbits/Pilot) as a sound source, remember to use the UDP operator `;` instead of the MIDI operator `:`. - -We recommend to distribute a printed copy of the [list of operators](https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca#operators), so students can do their own experiments. - -- **Part 1**: [Basics](#Basics) `D`, `R`, `T`, `C` -- **Part 2**: [Logic](#Logic) `I`, `A`, `F`, `B` -- **Part 3**: [Projectors](#Projectors) `E`, `H`, `X`, `O`, -- **Part 4**: [Variables](#Variables) `V`, `K`, `J`, `Y` - -## Basics - -This section will teach the basics of playing a note and a sequence of notes. - -### Send a midi note - -- `D8`, will send a bang, every **8th frame**. -- `:03C`, will send the `C` note, on the **3rd octave**, to send `C#`, use the lowercase `c3`. - -``` -D8... -.:03C -``` - -### Play a random note - -- `aRG`, will output a random value between `A` & `G`, the rightside uppercase letter indicates an **uppercase output**. - -``` -D8.aRG. -.:03D.. -``` - -### Make a melody - -- `04TCAFE`, will create a track of **4 notes**, and output its first value. - -``` -D814TCAFE -.:03A.... -``` - -### Play the melody - -- `8C4`, will count from `0` to `3`, at **1/8th speed**. - -``` -.8C4..... -D804TCAFE -.:03C.... -``` - -## Logic - -This section will teach the basics of automating logic decisions and changing the values of operators dynamically. - -### Play every second note - -- `2I6`, will increment to `6` at a rate of `2`. - -``` -.2I6....... -D846TCAFEDG -.:03D...... -``` - -### Play a note with an offset - -- `1AC`, will add `1` to `C`, to output `D`.
