Thank you for purchasing the WORLDE Orca mini 25 USB MIDI controller. Orca mini 25 is a high quality, feature-packed controller which
includes all the essentials to start making music.To help you get the most out of your new instrument, please read this manual carefully.
Your Orca mini 25 midi controller will not make any sound unless it is connected to a computer or other external MIDI gear. This is
because the Orca mini 25 sends MIDI data when you play it and does not produce sound on its own. Instead, it is used to control a
virtual instrument on your computer or a MIDI sound module to generate sounds.
In order to use the functions of this product, you’ll need to make settings in the application you’re using. Make settings as described in
the owner’s manual for your application.

navigate and control Live’s Session View, play and record clips, adjust effects and much more without ever looking at your computer.
Orca mini 25’s pads bring your Ableton Session to your fingertips in full RGB colour, so you know exactly which clips you’re launching.
Also, you can make Orca mini 25 the perfect controller for your studio under common mode, where you can customise knobs and pads
using the MENU button.
Orca mini 25 also has a standard 3.5mm TRS MIDI Out jack for connecting to your hardware synths and drum machines. This means you
can use many of the Orca mini 25’s functions without a computer.

6. Using The Orca mini 25 With Your DAW


6.1 Using your Orca mini 25 with Ableton Live
With Ableton Live installed, get your Orca mini 25 connected to Mac or PC ‘s USB port with USB cable and it will be automatically detected
and enter Session mode. If you press the Shift button on your Orca mini 25 the pads will be lighting as shown in the picture below. The first
2 pads of the top row are used to select pad behavior and the next 4 labled pads to the right are for selecting knob behaviour.

If your Orca mini 25 is not automatically detected in Ableton Live, you’ll need to configure Live’s Control Surface Preferences. This could
be done in the ‘Link/MIDI’ Preferences menu in Ableton Live:
‘Link/MIDI' Preferences:
Windows:Options>Preferences>Link/MIDI
Mac:Live>Preferences>Link/MIDI
You need to make settings in the Link/MIDI tab as steps shown below. First, select the Orca mini 25(Launchkey Mini [MK3]) from the
Control Surface menu. Second, select WORLDE or WORLDE2(Windows) for Input and Output settings. Finally, match the Track, Sync
and Remote settings.

6.1.1 Session Mode


Hold the Shift button and press the Session pad(the top left pad) to enter session mode on your Orca mini 25.

Session mode is used to control Ableton Live’s Session view. Session View is a grid that consists of clips, tracks and scenes.

Orca mini 25’s Session mode provides an 8x2 view of the clips in your Session View.
Example of Orca mini 25’s pads in Session mode:

Clips are typically loops that contain MIDI notes or audio.

Tracks represent virtual instruments or audio tracks. MIDI clips placed on instrument tracks will play back on the instrument that is
assigned to that track.

Scenes are rows of clips. Launching a scene will launch all clips in that row. This means that you can arrange clips into horizontal
groups (across tracks) to form a song structure, launching scene after scene to progress through a song.

In Session mode, the pads represent the grid of clips found inside the coloured rectangle in Ableton Live’s Session View. The image
below shows such a rectangle (red) extending from the left-most track to the Master track:

Any changes you make to clip position or colour within Ableton Live will be represented in the Session mode of Orca mini 25. Unlit (dark)
pads indicate empty clip slots.

You can navigate around Session View by holding Shift and pressing the 4 buttons with arrows as their secondary functions: >, Stop
Solo Mute, Arp, and Fixed Chord.

More specifically, you can move the currently selected grid of clips (inside Ableton Live’s coloured rectangle) up or down by holding Shift
and pressing the following buttons:

Shift + Scene Launch (>) – This moves the grid of clips up one row.

Shift + Stop, Solo, Mute – This moves the grid of clips down one row.

Holding Shift and pressing Arp (left) or Fixed Chord (right) will select the adjacent left or right track. This will automatically arm the track
so it is ready to receive MIDI. Release Arp or Fixed Chord button first before SHIFT button released.

6.1.2 Launching Clips


Pressing pads will launch clips in the corresponding location in your Session View. Pads will pulse white to indicate that a clip is playing.
Pressing the pad again will relaunch the clip, and pressing an empty pad will stop playback on that track.

How fast clips stop or relaunch is set by Ableton Live’s Global Quantisation chooser, located at the top of the Live screen. By default, this
is set to 1 bar, but can go as fast as 1/32 notes, or as slow as 8 bars. It can also be set to ‘None’ so clips react immediately.

6.1.3 Launching Scenes


Pressing the Scene Launch button (>) launches scenes in Ableton Live. This means that all of the clips in a row can start together.

6.1.4 Stop, Solo, Mute

While in Session mode, it is possible to switch the functionality of the bottom 8 pads so that they no longer launch clips. This is done with
the Stop, Solo, Mute button.

The Stop, Solo, Mute button toggles between four different states which affect tracks in the following ways:

- 15 -
HANGZHOU BLUE WHALE MUSIC TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD HANGZHOU WORLDE MUSIC ELECTRONIC CO., LTD

WEBSITE: WWW.WORLDE.COM.CN EMAIL:[email protected] TEL:86 571 88730848


Stop (Purple) – In this state, pressing pads will stop any clip on the corresponding track. The purple pads will be in blue if tracks are not
playing.

Solo (Yellow green) - In this state, pressing the pads will solo the corresponding tracks, meaning only tracks with Solo on will be heard.
The pads will be in yellow green if tracks are not soloed (ie they are silent) and if soloed they will be in purple.

Mute (Light pink) –In this state, pressing pads will mute the corresponding tracks.
The pads will be in yellow green for muted tracks, leaving pads for unmuted tracks at their original light pink colour.

Clips (White) – the fourth press (after toggling through Stop, Solo and Mute) changes the function of bottom pads back to the default
Session mode, where the bottom row of pads will represent clips again . The clips that are playing will be in white color and flickering.

6.1.5 Record / Capture MIDI

Pressing this button triggers Session Record. This will allow you to record what you’re playing to new clips as well as overdub existing
ones.

Holding Shift and pressing Record triggers the Capture MIDI function. This allows you to retrospectively capture any recently played
MIDI notes in the record-armed track. This means that if you are not recording, but you play something that sounds great, you can use
Capture MIDI to send it straight into a clip.

6.1.6 Playing and Recording Drums

Drum mode transforms the Orca mini 25’s pads into velocity-sensitive drum pads.
Hold Shift and press the Drum pad (2nd from the top left) to enter this mode.

WEBSITE: WWW.WORLDE.COM.CN EMAIL:[email protected] TEL:86 571 88730848


If a Drum Rack (an Ableton MIDI instrument) is loaded onto the selected Live track, and the Orca mini 25 is in Drum mode, the pads light
up the colour of the track.

Hold Shift and press either the > or Stop, Solo, Mute buttons to scroll up/down a Drum Rack’s bank of 128 pads.
When using Ableton’s Drum Racks, Drum mode will – apart from triggering sounds – select the associated Drum Rack pad within a
Drum Rack. This means that on release, the last played Drum Rack pad becomes grey and Ableton Live shows the selected Drum Rack
pad on the screen.

6.1.7 Using Ableton Live Devices


Device mode allows you to control the selected ‘device’ (Ableton or 3rd-party Instruments and Effects) on a Live track. Hold the Shift
button and press the Device pad (4th from top left) to use this mode.

In this mode, knobs control the first 8 parameters of the selected device. This is especially useful for controlling Live’s 8 ‘macro’ knobs,
available on Instrument and Effect Racks.

The above picture shows an Impulse preset called ‘Percussion 1’. Here, the Orca mini 25 knobs control sample volumes, sample start
and ‘stretch’, as well as delay and reverb amounts.

6.1.8 Using Ableton Live’s Mixer

The Orca mini 25 8 knobs give you hands-on control of Live’s mixer. Hold Shift, then press either the Volume, Pan or Sends pads to
control those respective parameters with the knobs.
Volume - This mode allows for volume control over the 8 selected tracks currently inside Live’s coloured rectangle. Holding the Shift
button and pressing the Volume pad (the 4th from the top right) selects this mode.
Pan - This mode allows you to pan the 8 selected tracks currently inside Live’s coloured rectangle. Holding the Shift button and
pressing the Pan pad (the 3rd from the top right) selects this mode.
Sends - This mode allows you to control the send levels of tracks in Ableton Live. Hold Shift and press the Sends pad (2nd from the top
right) to enter this mode.
When in Sends mode two blue pads on the bottom row will switch between Send A or Send B. The left blue pad chooses Send A, and
the right blue pad selects Send B.
Sending audio to return tracks is a great way to use fewer audio effects. For example, instead of putting the same reverb on many
tracks, you can put one reverb on a return track and send multiple tracks to it.

6.1.9 Arp
Pressing the Arp button on Orca mini 25 enables the Arpeggiator. After engaging Arp the Orca mini 25 takes your chords and creates an
arpeggio – ie it plays each note of the chord one after another. The Arpeggiator will run as long as keys are held, at the rhythmic value
specified by the Arp Rate.
Orca mini 25’s Arp is a great way to come up with interesting melodies and progressions with ease.

Arpeggiator Rotary Knobs

When you hold the Arp button the rotary knobs can transform your arpeggios.
Tempo – This knob speeds up or slows down your arpeggio relative to the Arp Rate.
Swing – This knob sets the amount that every other note is delayed, resulting in a swung rhythm. To change the Arpeggiator’s Swing,
press and hold the Arp button, and then turn the knob labelled Swing. By default (centre position), swing will be set to 50% (meaning no
swing), with extremes of 80% (very swung) and 20% (negative swing). Negative swing means every other note is rushed, instead of
delayed.
Gate – Adjusting this knob will create longer or shorter MIDI notes, resulting in either a more ‘staccato’ arpeggio, or a more fluid, ‘legato’
one. This knob goes from 1% to 200% of the space between notes. For notes that have swing applied, both notes retain the same gate
length.

Arp Modes

After turning on Arp you’ll be in 1 of 5 Arpeggiator Modes, each resulting in arpeggios of different note orders. To change the Arp Mode,
press and hold the Arp button, and then press the key corresponding to your desired mode. After pressing a key, you can see the pad
above reflect your changes (as per the previous section).
Up – Here notes are played in ascending order (ie rising in pitch). If notes are added, the number of notes in the sequence will grow but
remain in ascending order. For example, you may start by holding down a first note - E3 - then quickly add two more notes - C3 and G3.
The resulting arpeggio will be C3, E3 and G3.
Down – This Mode is similar to Up Mode, but notes play in descending order (eg G3, E3, C3).
Up/Down – This arpeggio Mode starts by playing notes in ascending order. Then, after reaching the highest note, the notes descend
towards the lowest note, which plays once before the arpeggio rises again and stop before reaching the lowest note. This means that
when the pattern repeats, the lowest note only plays once.
Played – Here notes are kept repeated in whatever order they were played.
Chord – All notes are played back on every rhythmic step (see Arp Rate). This makes playing fast chords very easy.

Arp Rates

These options specify the speed of the arpeggiated notes. Since each note is played immediately after the end of the previous one, a
shorter rate (eg 1/32) will play an arpeggio faster than longer one (eg 1/4).
Rate options are common musical note values: quarter (¼), eighth (1/8), sixteenth (1/16) and thirty-second (1/32) notes. To change the
Arp Rate, press and hold the Arp button, and then press the key below 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, or 1/32.

Arp Octaves

These 4 keys specify across how many octaves your arpeggio will repeat. To change, press and hold the Arp button, and then press the
key below 1, 2, 3 or 4. Choosing an octave higher than 1 will repeat the arpeggio at higher octaves. For example, an arpeggio that was
C3, E3, and G3 at 1 octave will become C3, E3, G3, C4, E4, and G4 when set to 2 octaves.

Arp Rhythms

Arp Rhythms add musical rests (silent steps) to your arpeggio’s pattern, allowing for greater variations in your arpeggios.
Hold Arp then press one of the following, which will turn the pads blue.
Dots - These three options are rhythmic patterns.
O – The normal Arpeggiator setting, this places a note on every division of the selected Arp rate.
OXO (note - rest - note) – This rhythm adds a rest between every pair of notes.
OXXO (note - rest - rest - note) – This pattern adds two rests between every pair of notes.

Latch

WEBSITE: WWW.WORLDE.COM.CN EMAIL:[email protected] TEL:86 571 88730848

Latch lets you use the Arpeggiator without holding down keys. Any notes you press and release concurrently will form a new arpeggio
pattern which the arpeggiator ‘latches’ onto. The arpeggiator then continues to play as if you never released the keys. When you press a
new key, the previous arpeggio erases and a new one forms.
To turn on Latch, press and hold the Arp button, and then press the key below ‘Latch’. The pad below Volume will change from light pink
to pink when you enable Latch.

Arp Pads
The pads of the Orca mini 25 help to visually confirm the current Arp state. When the Arp button is held the pads will light up in different
colours, indicating these Arp settings: red (Arp Modes), green (Arp Rates), blue (Arp Octaves), light blue (Arp Rhythms), and light
pink/pink (Latch).
The top row of pads indicate the Arp groups: Arp Modes, Arp Rates, Arp Octaves, Arp Rhythms, and Latch (On/Off). The bottom row of
pads indicate the different options within the selected group(from the top row).

6.1.10 Fixed Chord

Fixed Chord lets you play a chord shape and then transpose it by pressing other keys.
Press and hold the Fixed Chord button to set a chord. Then, while still holding the button, press and release the keys that you wish to be
part of your chord. The chord is now stored.
Keep in mind that the first note that you input into the chord is considered the ‘root note’ of the chord, even if you then add notes lower
than the first one, like in the example below.
These steps illustrate how to use Fixed Chord:
Press and hold the Fixed Chord button.
Press and release C, then E, and finally G (a C Major chord). Orca mini 25 stores this as the ‘fixed chord’.
Release the Fixed Chord button.
Major chords will now sound on whatever key you press. For example, you can now press F to hear an F Major chord (shown below), or
Ab to hear an Ab Major chord, etc. Whenever you enter the Fixed Chord settings, the stored chord is erased and a new chord must be
entered for Fixed Chord to work again.

6.2 Orca mini 25 Working with other Sequencer


A MIDI sequencer will allow you to record, play back, store and edit MIDI data. Although hardware sequencers exist, we will focus on the
more commonly used software sequencers in this manual. Examples of popular DAW are CubaseTM, LogicTM, Ableton Live TM and so
on, although there are many different sequencing applications available for your computer. In order to use your Orca mini 25 with your
sequencer, you need to set up the sequencer software so that your Orca mini 25 can be recognized as your DAW’s MIDI input device. You
need to choose a MIDI output device that is capable of making sound when MIDI data is sent to it. This may be a soundcard on your
computer, a VST instrument or a sound module connected to a MIDI port which is in turn connected to your computer. Please consult your
sequencer’s user manual for more information on how this is done. In this manual, section 3.2.2 “Using The Orca mini 25 With Your
software” details how your Orca mini 25 will appear in the device listing of your sequencer.
With your Orca mini 25 set up to communicate with the sequencer, data will go into the sequencer and will be routed to a virtual
synthesizer within the sequencer software or sent to an external sound module via a MIDI output port. The virtual synthesizer or external
sound module will turn the MIDI data into audible sounds. You can then record the incoming MIDI data and edit your performance using
your sequencer. We will have some more detailed MIDI mapping operations for different DAWs provided separately.
