Play any sound in the world: Orba 2 features a brand new sound engine that includes sampled audio recordings. This means you can now play instruments like electric guitars and upright pianos as well as more adventurous sounds like vocals found sounds and custom artist songs. Imagine conducting an orchestra in the park with no strings attached and no screens required. Loop songs in seconds: Orba 2 allows you to record loops right on the device itself. Using Drum Bass Chord and Lead you’ll be able to layer sounds to create songs that are uniquely yours. Orba 2 also has a quantize feature that snaps your musical phrases to the beat so that every moment fits perfectly into the groove. And since Orba 2 has far more memory than its predecessor you’ll be able to make way longer songs: up to 128 bars! Play with Gestures: Orba 2’s touch and motion sensors combine to capture even the most subtle micro-movements. Its improved ceramic-like playing surface simultaneously reacts to the nine simple gestures: Tap Press Radiate Tilt Shake Spin Vibrato Move and Bump. Each gesture can control the onboard synth engine or your MIDI music software of choice. With unprecedented expressive potential you’ll never play the same note twice. MIDI Control: Use Orba to control your MIDI-based software and hardware instruments (via USB-C or wirelessly via Bluetooth MIDI). Orba works with GarageBand Ableton Live Logic Pro Pro Tools Cubase FL Studio as well as any MIDI-compatible mobile app. In addition Orba is fully compliant with the new standard for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) making it capable of multiple independent note expressions.
