Orba by Artiphon — Early lessons and getting started tips

In this video I review the different ways Orba detects your playing, as well as the basics of looping and changing octave/bpm. I also touch on the smartphone/desktop app (needed for swapping presets) but forgot to mention this is also how you can change the key Orba is playing in. I’m sure there’s more to be discovered to!

Terrific overview, Steven. Great of you to share. And thanks for the thoughtful feedback as well – very helpful!

[thomasbeckett]

Thanks! You filled some of the gaps in the official guides. Very helpful.

This is a great tutorial, I've just finished with all rythem and cords in my head because of listening to alot of talk radio. I've been playing with this for a couple of days mostly while driving, and I just wanted the basics as you have demonstrated here. It's definitely a great fidget, to occupy time with and just relax and play to whatever comes to you, without any preconceived tunes in your head.

Just received mine today and I gotta say, it’s pretty freakin cool. I noticed they have the Orba 2 and it can do some more really great things but isn’t shipping until July. I’ll probably get that one too, and use both of them. Great design and idea.

I am starting on my journey to become a musician and this is one amazing piece of equipment. I don't have much money to pour into a setup because of college draining my money, but thats beside the point. I would absolutely love to get the Orba as a product tester, I would give them an amazing review and it would greatly help me. (Sorry for my ramblings)

Can this be used as a Bluetooth speaker too, like to separate drums in songs and stuff ?

[ilikeitdark]

Great video! Can you connect it via Bluetooth to a speaker (or via cable)?

Similar I would like to put own samples in top

[Severin-Rom]

Thanks! Very good content.
What software\(android app?)

Would you recommend for a beginner

using orba?

Say I don't want to learn how to use a

professional software as ablation live?
(Excluding the orba app)

@Artiphon is there a way to save the loops on my computer??

[JamesIrving-hl]

When recorded how do you transfer your tracks

[garyusinger]

You mentioned quantizing. Can you quantize what you play? I imagine if you connect to your DAW then you can use the quantize feature in your DAW...

[Ahollywoodjoevideodiaryseries]

Cool still waiting for mine. I WONDER IF IT WILL EVER SHIP? in LA.
