  • Page 3: Introduction

    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.
