Glad I got it on sale

A fun little gadget, once I got the hang of the A button. The device locked up on me a couple of times and had to be turned off and back on again. Sometimes there is an annoying buzz-kill sound interruption when switching between parts. Charged it fully and battery life was nowhere near 5 hours. I got maybe 2 hours use before it quit on me. Quantization seems pretty sketchy at times. Also, some of the sound packs say connect with USB, but when I do it still won’t transfer to the Orba.

Response from developer

Hey there, we're happy to assist you in getting your sounds transferred over to your Orba. Also, please note that quantization settings can be adjust for each mode individually. If you're finding that your loops aren't sounding the way you'd like, ensure that quantization is turned on for all four parts. If you're unable to get your Orba charged up all the way, please let us know at support@artiphon.com, so we can get you a replacement. In the meantime, we hope to provide a 5-star experience in the Artiphon Connect app. Any further feedback is greatly appreciated.

Cool device, awful app

The app is clunky, slow, crashes consistently, and fails to connect to the Orba 2 three out of four times. It’s a royal pain and a proper example of hardware companies producing terrible software. Would give 0 stars if allowed.

Fun instrument and app

The Orba/Chorda instruments are very fun to play if you have anywhere between 0 and 50 years of experience as a musician. Pros can find new uses for them as MIDI controllers. They keep adding features and improving the app.
