hi! not related with FoC but it does with music, I've been playing with orca and I don't have midi hardware, I tried using supercollider to have sound and I couldn't set it up, so I ended up using sunvox, the thing is that the default sounds that the sunvox examples have are not what I would like, does someone know of any free software I can use to get one of these sounds from my laptop: Roland TR-808 or the bass from future islands and the drums from joy division (yes, pretty specific 😄)

For the 808, most people use samples not synthesis, I bet you could find some free samples online (I have no idea why people mainly sample drum sounds from synthesis hardware, but they do). The same with the Joy Division drums, I'd try taking a dirty sounding drum kit, heavily filter it, then add some reverb. I'm not sure about Future Islands, but I listened to a couple of tracks and the bass was played on an instrument to? I think Sunvox and Supercollider are more for synthesis, but to get these sounds it's going to be easier to use samples. Are you on Mac? GarageBand would be the obvious place to start because it has a ton of built-in sampled sounds.

ubuntu 😕

On Linux you can use LMMS (https://lmms.io/), ardour (https://ardour.org/) or Muse (https://muse-sequencer.github.io/). It has been a long time since I play with audio/midi on Linux, so I can't tell which one is the easiest to use with Orca, though.

If you want to go the synthesis route for the 808, and you're up for bit of a project, you can find the schematics for the 808 online and replicate them in a synthesis environment, Pure Data would be perfect for this, but concept are transferable between most synthesis environments.
