#Requirements
Terminal Tedium running FATES (see below)
2 x SH1106 OLED displays, using I2C on 0x60, and 0x61

#Installation:
This has been tested on a terminal tedium running the FATES install.
it should work on others, but the idea is to have a base line install

(basically, the install assumes a user called ‘we’, so create that an should work on other distros )

https://github.com/okyeron/fates

defaults:
hostname: norns
username: we password:sleep

the general install of this should work, the only two modifications were made
a) disable encoders and screen in /boot/config.txt
just comment out the line that says something like
dtoverlay=fates-buttons-encoders
dtoverlay=fates-ssd1322,rotate=180

b) disable norns
sudo systemctl stop norns.target
sudo systemctl disable norns.target

c) i rename host to tt, but thats optional!
use raspi-config
(you can also setup wifi and expand fs whilst here)

then reboot

from here we can proceed to install orac
(note: you will need internet access to install things like PD which is a dependancy )

unzip orac.deb.zip , and copy orac.deb from your desktop to home directory of your TT.

then

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ./orac.deb

#Running

once installed, it runs as a system service which is already enabled, you can stop with
systemctl stop orac
(use journalctl to check logs)

if all is installed correctly, you will hear a ‘demo’ patch, and see the display

(note: this guide does not cover Orac usage, see my videos for how to use orac :))

On the top display we have the ‘menu’
on the bottom display we have the paramters for the current module/page

the black buttons are up/down , the led button is ‘func’

when func is unlit, buttons are used to target parameters display
up/down change pages within module
func + up/down change module

hold func for 1 second, will light func, and we are not in menu display mode
up/down – selects menu item
func – selects item (either activating, or entering sub menu)

CV 1,2, 4 & 5 control parameters 1-4 respectively

tips:
cv clock module – allows you to input and output gate – replace normal clock in S2!
cv note module – can be used for cv/gate from spare cv and digital inputs
audio input – is disabled by default, go to the router (S1) and you will find a parameter to increase ‘gain’ for input on a chain.
midi is supported, you will need to setup alsa midi to connect to PD, using aconnect

have fun, happy patching
