I’m a 65 year old nana who found your channel and i love it. With your help I now have a plethora of gift ideas for our grands that might just drive their parents mad 🤣🤣🤣. I have always loved music and have always had ADHD. In my humble opinion, the latter is NOT a disorder, rather just the way some people’s brains work, making us (ADHD folks) very creative and fun! Merry Christmas! Let the shopping continue!
i love how you kept the bugs and hiccups in the video and didnt cut them out and try to oversell this product. Im still excited and getting one but its nice to see what kind of things this has to offer, the good AND the bad. Need more channels being this honest imo
The orba (1) has been a surprisingly awesome piece of gear to work with. Once i found out you can upload your own Orbasynth presets, it opened up a lot for me. Its now a designated ambient device in my setup, this thing can drone.
Ok, with this one you convinced me to subscribe 🙂 I simply LOVE small musical instruments / gadgets (Monotrons, Pokket Mixer, PO Series...), and Orba is another dream piece right now 🙂
I got an Orba about 9 months ago, after waiting 2 months for it. I had a lot of trouble trying to get it to work with my Samsung Note, on Android. The firmware update would not download to my phone, using a Mac. After a week of trying, and checking every comment on the Orba forum, I gave up. Without the update, it would not play any sounds, other than the ones built in. Nor would it play through the phone, so that I could use it wirelessly. Unfortunately, after many hours of frustration, I returned it for a full refund. The Orba needs to be connected to an iPad, or other Apple device. Android was poison to this thing.
Hope this helps someone else but the Bluetooth chip has an issue updating sometimes so, I WOULD SUGGEST using a MAC if you have one and if you have already updated the Orba, connect it to the MAC with a cable and hit SHIFT and click on the firmware update button on the orba App. Do it a few times it it fails until you can remove the cable and it connects to the iPad or phone. I have to do this about 7 times with a PC and 2 times with a MAC.
Theyve added a few new sounds but you can create bass, chord, and lead presets using their free Orbasynth software. Once you save the patch, you can load it into the device. The software has vcos, envelopes, filters, reverb/delay, among other parameters. It can be pretty versatile depending on what youre looking to get out of it. Added bonus that the Orbasynth doesnt require a DAW. I think the orba 2 added a sampling feature but the orba 1 works for my needs.
Hey Charles!!!! Just to let you know that Artiphon released a second version of Orba called Orba 2. I would really like if you checked it out, they added whole lot new featuresand you might like those😊 and I have a Orba now too😊 Sam🐺🐺
156 / 5.000 Question after a year: have you ever used the orba again? Or did the device just disappear into obscurity after the video recording? 🧐 be honest 😋
Imagine your artiphon orba 2 synthesizer 🪁 playing through a line 6 Pod express effects pedal ☄️ line 6 catalist app 💰 Bluetooth connectivity 🌈 thanks 🚀
Looking nice but for €100 its to expansive. You have (free) apps of synthesizers what i think works just as good and with the 10 polyfonie of this device it will not get better i think. But overall interesting device for inprovements

Thanks for the lovely comment, that's great to hear!

Charles has to be the best experimental musician
The wealth of instruments you have at this point. It's just a playground of noise and I love it!
he can set up his own orchestra now with all the instruments he has.
I only found your channel about a week ago but must have watched at least 80 percent of your videos! I absolutely love them. Keep up the good work!
Same for me
Initially I was looking for demos / reviews but then realized who cares about the Orba this guy is quite entertaining to watch. Subbed.

These video's are so high quality!
Well now it's time for a session with odd ball, this, pocket operators, pedals!!!
The "oof" at 4:48 frikin killed me.
Omg I just got one of these for Christmas!
Ok, with this one you convinced me to subscribe 🙂 I simply LOVE small musical instruments / gadgets (Monotrons, Pokket Mixer, PO Series...), and Orba is another dream piece right now 🙂
More instruments!!
Greetings from Germany! I think you have earned way more subscribers for your hight quality content.
The best review video so far..
Really want one for myself now
This seems like a ton of fun to play around and experiment with
Oh my stars I was not expecting such quality to come from that small machine.. wow
Your videos are always the best!!! Especially the instrument review videos!!!
That's pretty interesting, looks like a lot of fun
Another great vid. Keep it coming with the instruments. I love them.
The Dr Who Radiophonic Workshop team would have loved this circa 1980 ...
Nice demo
Oh man. I need one of these!
Ever heard of a nose flute???
Oh yeah, twas you guys hahahaha 😂
Love your work please make more
This is great
Please do more instrument video we all love that..
I like górę root completely ignore the metronome but still somehow keep the tempo, just misaligned with the metronome lol
2:26 sounds like another gorillaz song

At 11& 23 the tones were at a higher pitch , I believe it was how a better experience was obtained

I hope you rethink the product. It does not need an Apple device.
My favorite. 6:37. Wish it was longer.
So cool! Has it got a built in sampler?
No, but a sampler (w/ mic) and being able to flip between frames/loops would make it unstoppable

yes
That thing is SCARY 😦
Hey great vid. I just ordered the orba. A question? Will it work with android? Thanks.
I'ts been almost 2 years what does the sound library look like now?
Theyve added a few new sounds but you can create bass, chord, and lead presets using their free Orbasynth software. Once you save the patch, you can load it into the device.

I like my Orba quite a bit. Much better than my Oddball, which seems much more like a toy.
Question..can u make beat sounds n use it by itself alone or wat is needed to use with it?? I'm wondering if it has use alone
great songs!
Usb-C. Nice.
Isn’t choke referring to choke groups / sample priority?
Where's the automaton video of the yeat

i have a Orba
The end conclusion is on point. As a midi controller it is ok, but as stand alone the synth is not so awesome.
It's only 4 tracks?
Great
Please do a harmonica!
ocarina video again or xun instrument review
you should try play a classical instrument
:D
Comment effacer toute la Loop?

Question after a year:
have you ever used the orba again? Or did the device just disappear into obscurity after the video recording?
🧐 be honest 😋
Idk what that is but I want it

Does your ears have microphones in them?

What is this ‘simfasizer’ of which you speak?🤔 Also, when you say it has “uvver” sounds & “fings”, are these from some country I’ve never heard of?
Im the exactly thousands liker🎉. I saw that the video got 999 likes
2022: orba 2 🤔
Oooooooooh
To avoid getting fingerprints on your iPad the only way you can do it is really just by washing your hands with soap before using it
Or any other tablet for that matter

It's sad of how little views you pull in any more );
bonjour pas gêné les concepteur Orba d'avoir piqué le concept DUALO!!
Orba 2 is just as bad
