Terrible

Artiphon has some cool designs for their products but the software is barely functional. Orba crashes often.

Hi there, we're sorry to hear that you're having trouble connecting your Orba to the app. First, please ensure that if you have an Orba 1, you are connecting to the Orba 1 app. If you are still having trouble, please contact us at support@artiphon.com, and we'd be happy to help get you connected and playing.

Sub Par app

Love the Orba, hate the app. Told me to update firmware now it won’t even connect to my Orba. Even when I could use this app it left a lot to be desired. Too bad they’ve moved on to Orba 2, can’t expect much support or updates for this going forward :(

App does not work

The app will not connect properly. It says connected under the Bluetooth but on top it still says not connected so I can’t use the app at all. Very disappointing. The orba is fun and has potential to make some fun stuff but the app not working prevents any actual song making and saving.

Abandonware

Artiphon appears to have dropped support for the Orba app along with apparently giving up on fulfilling its promises to update features on the Orba device. It’s a shame because the Orba really had potential.

Count me out on the Orba 2. I foresee a similar level of support for it as well.

Hey there, I'm happy to address your concerns. We are still supporting Orba 1 and will continue to do so via firmware and app updates. We have been working on bringing some feature requests to life on Orba, like quantization and sample playback. Some of these features require more processing speed than Orba 1 allowed. Because of this, we had to make changes at the hardware level. Orba 2 is a significant hardware upgrade with a completely rebuilt sound engine to allow sample playback and quantizing. It has a 3x faster processor, 32x more RAM, and gigabytes more storage for your songs, samples, and presets. If we can help resolve any issues your Orba 1 is having please reach out to our support team at support@artihpon.com. Thanks.

No quantization ??

No quantization :(

Thanks for your review. Quantization has been our top requested feature and we have spent significant time exploring adding this feature to Orba 1. Since quantization has to happen while the looper is running, it requires more processing speed than Orba 1 allowed. Because of this, we had to make changes at the hardware level. Please visit our website, artiphon.com, to learn more about Orba 2.

Bluetooth Failure

Phone shows Bluetooth connected to the device but app doesn’t.
Sadly app is effectively pointless

Download From Their Website

The native app through the App store won't let you update firmware. You have to download the desktop version from the dev's website in order to update on iMac M1 24"
