Artiphon Orba
Handheld synthesizer and looper
The Orba is a highly versatile digital instrument that combines a synthesizer and a looper into a handheld device. The internal synth is designed to respond to your movements, providing four main sounds to loop and create songs with. The synth is comprised of Drum, Bass, Chord and Lead sounds that span every genre. The sounds range from cutting-edge melodic tones to powerful percussive presets. The soundset is tuned so you can have real-time control over the Orba’s gestures, making it one of the most expressive instruments on the market.
The built-in looper makes it easier than ever to create loops, cultivate ideas and turn them into songs. From capturing inspiration to building on song sessions, the Orba can do it all. It takes a few touches to loop a beat and you can play continuously for hours.
Multiple ways to interact with sound
Touch, glide, tap, wave and much more. The Orba provides a variety of ways to interact with the onboard synth. The onboard motion and touch sensors capture even the most subtle of movements so you can express yourself without boundaries. You can create vibratos using different gestures, shake the Orba, or even wave it in the air, resulting in different tones and dynamics. The intuitive design makes it perfect both beginners and professionals.
The USB connectivity means you can also use the Orba as an external MIDI controller. This allows you to control your favourite music software and virtual instruments using this handheld instrument.
