@AgathaSorceress I'll file that one, in my head next to the "negative latency' of Google Stadia (RIP).

@paul @neauoire @sejo hell yes.

3/3 looking at terminal escape codes Thinking about what orca is, maybe your 1st intuition is correct orca is the destination of keyboard input device, so it should respond to key presses and escape codes, like a terminal emulator. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code

@paul @sejo @neauoire

2/3 Looking at the ascii and midi specs and thinking about what a 'sequencer' should take as input leads me to think about start stop and clock being way more useful. There are many low bytes for this kinda thing. This is likely the most important use case.

@paul @neauoire @sejo

no action required.

1/3 it's really cool how you can send an, N,S,E or W to orca which creates 4 channels of bangs, which would be nice to come from 1 place that a \ operator would create. So A-Z,a-z,0-9 | 10000000b could go there. But we don't need
an operator for this just a consistent starting cursor position which we have.

@paul @sejo @neauoire ummm, i'm not sure this is a good design: conflating a *human* interface and a machine interface, because all the work you do accommodate the humanness in a UI becomes unnecessary impediments (for example a 2D space) when your trying to machine to machine communication. Points for interoperability tho.

@neauoire @sejo @paul
thanks i didn't know about the / operator is there also a \ operator for input?

for:
$shim 1 | uxnemu orca.rom | shim 2
?

tho i know we use : for midi output.

would love to send or recv midi clock to orca-toy, im oddly invested in using orca.rom rather than the other versions, my inner idealist

(ps i know C and unix, just thought @sejo was talking about IPC (inter process communication, my mistake))

@paul @sejo can you drop a pointer to the inter app communication process in uxn. wanting to sync my orcas or other midi devices. thanks.

@samgai ps, "free relationships" to technology comes from Martin Heidegger essay 'The Question Concerning Technology " which is obtuse but worth the wade. Heidegger notes, “so as to prepare a free relationship to it”. The relationship will be free “if it opens our human existence (Dasein) to the essence of technology”. You can find a .pdf of it around.
