Presentation
Orba is a fun way of opening up the creative world of music to everyone.
It's a portable synthesiser, looper and MIDI controller that fits in the palm of your hand.
The minimalist, game controller-style design is an invitation to take the device in hand and intuitively create music with your fingers and hand movements.
Eight touchpads react to the slightest touch and also recognise a variety of gestures such as tapping, sliding and vibrato.
The built-in sound engine features a 4-part polyphonic synthesizer with subtractive and physical modelling sounds, and enables a wide range of drum, bass, chord and lead sounds.
Its acceleration sensor and gyroscope also enable multi-dimensional movements such as ripple, tilt and shake, ideal for controlling other sounds and effects.
With Orba's built-in looper, songs with multiple sounds can be created and played in seconds. 4 tracks (drums, bass, chords and lead) are available for this purpose.
Orba can be played independently using the built-in sound generator and speakers, but it also connects wirelessly to mobile devices and computers via Bluetooth MIDI.
A USB port is provided for charging, USB MIDI and connection to the Orba application.
Orba is compatible with iOS, Mac, Windows and Android as well as all major DAWs, including GarageBand, Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Cubase, StudioOne and FL Studio.
