Description

Distributed as a zip per GitHub release. Release 2.5 added separate scales for the two CV outputs; 2.6 added saving individual presets and banks, scale editing on arc4 and moved libavr32 to a submodule. This is the original Orca firmware, not the Orca live-coding sequencer. Later work by the same author continued in the multipass framework.

Install notes

Flash like any monome module with dfu-programmer; the repository README points to monome's modular docs for toolchain and flashing.
