Orcalot merges the codable Orca grid sequencer with an integrated synth engine and real-time shader rendering. Build generative patterns, route MIDI, tune sound design, and drive visuals from the same timeline with a compact desktop app powered by Tauri.
Orca Grid Sequencing
Program generative music patterns directly in the livecoding grid with familiar Orca operators and commands.
Integrated Synth Engine
Use built-in synth channels, effects, and commander shortcuts to shape sound without leaving the session.
Real-Time Shader Visuals
Edit and run GLSL shaders that react to sequencer timing and channel data for performance-ready visuals.
MIDI I/O and Clock
Connect external gear with MIDI input/output, transport control, and quick device switching from the keyboard.
Portable Project Format
Save full sessions as .orcalot files including grid, shader, theme, and synth state for repeatable setups.
Desktop-First Build
Runs as a lightweight Tauri app on macOS, combining a native Rust backend with a fast web UI.
Orcalot brings sequencing, synthesis, and shader experimentation into one environment to reduce context switching during composition and performance.
