Leave a Review Orba (1) by Artiphon
Terrible
Artiphon has some cool designs for their products but the software is barely functional. Orba crashes often.Namisar

Hi there, thanks for leaving a review. We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble using the Orba app. Please send us an email at support@artiphon.com with details about what you were doing in the app at the time of the crash, and we'll be more than happy to look into this.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.Cyraa30

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.TheFeller
Developer Response
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 :(Aztrogreal
Developer Response
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

Thanks for your review. For now, you will need to update your firmware via USB cable and computer. But we're constantly working on improving the updating process. We appreciate your feedback.iOS App doesn’t work
I have tried everything to connect my Orba to my phone. FireWire has been updated via desktop app. Device shows up in Bluetooth connection, but app continues to show no “no device connected”. Desktop app work just fine.MrDevinB

Love the Orba but the App is useless until they figure out the Bluetooth connectivity issues. On an iPhone12 with latest OS15.3 and it’ll say it is connected under the app bluetooth menu, but then on the main app screen says no device connected. I can’t change the sounds or anything else without it.
Update: Had to update the firmware on the Orba itself by plugging it into a computer and downloading. Would’ve been nice if it had come updated, but it works great now that it has been updated!Show lessSadOrbaUser
