ORBA 2 as a sampler/sequencer I don't use the ORBA 2 as a musical instrument for concerts. More like a VERY portable sampler/sequencer. And in that effect it works great. I make experimental music and I can make layers and beats when and where I want ! Would be nice to have more drum presets or to sample our own... Any upgrades to the software on the way ??

Bad Kickstarter experience with Orba project (still waiting after over a year) Backed the Orba project on Kickstarter. After more than a year of waiting I have still not received a tracking number or estimate for delivery time. Apparently there are still hundreds (if not thousands) of backers who have not received the unit, while it is already commonly available in shops. Based on comments there were also problems in the previous Kickstarter project. Avoid.

Extremely Helpful I recently purchased the Orba From Artiphon at this time especially since they were offering case free when added to your cart. Even though the case was left off the order (likely user error), upon reaching out to customer service, they are sending a case as well! It’s very nice to see a company willing to do that and I will always support a company like that. It’s a rare thing sometimes.

The Orba arrived quickly after I… The Orba arrived quickly after I completed the order, and worked as described. The only glitch was that, when I followed the instructions to update its software, it wouldn't turn on or do anything. Fortunately, a techie responded to my message and, following her suggestions, I did get it to turn on again. She said sometimes it doesn't successfully upload the software and then goes into a "deep sleep" mode.

I love my Orba 2 I love my Orba 2. I have enjoyed making music in ways I never would have imagined. It is like all the tones in my head are in this thing. My friends are amazed at the abilities of this magical instrument. With all the touch sensitivity, gestures and swiping, this team of developers have truly created a special musical device.
