just got one for christmas, very fun to use. fell off the couch and rolled down the stairs when it was on drums mode and it was hilarious the sounds it made
Just got my Orba and I love just "playing" with it so far, but I'm here to learn about how to use it as a MIDI controller, since I don't really have any software or a DAW installed on my PC yet.
: ) grabbed an annual premium Skillshare plan from your link & looking forward to enriching the grey matter. Ordered my Orba a couple weeks ago thinking it will be a nice fit with my lightblocks and iPad Pro studio set up. Next month I’ll pick up a keystep Pro.
Audi MIDI Setup... Whenever I need to make changes to this, I'm reminded of the incredibly useful, if clunky, E-Magic SoundDiver and how Apple destroyed it when they consumed E-Magic to get their hands on Logic. I think I used Logic on my PC for about 6 months before I lost support. Still have all my Unitor and AMT8 units though. Back to the Orba, looks like a nice device. Good price too
16:00 this is where the Orba really shines for me personally... bass patterns. On my Akai controller I usually overthink the basslines, but with the Orba held in my hand I've created some really nice patterns with my thumbs. It's weird how it felt so natural, like I immediately upped my bassline game.
I had never heard of the Akai product line before, just learned about it a yesterday. My nephew Akai was born in 2020, during the hype of Cobra Kai (I'm sure it's just a coincidence). Having said that, I've been binge watching anything I can find on it the Akai mini vs the plus model. So of course Al Gore's Rhythm at Amazon sent me down the ORBA rabbit hole. I'm thinking about getting one of these to make beats so that I can practice playing guitar over them. Do you love them or just like them?
I give my order last year, as a backer, and I still only have an update on how shipping will start soon. it was supposed to be a birthday present, but it might arrive by next spring
depends on where you order, I mean the country. I am from Croatia and I am not expecting anything, because I do not have any information or tracking number. just a few updates, where it says it will be next month, and so for months ...
I liked mine when it worked. Sadly though it became an expensive paperweight after the battery failed to charge. Customer support was responsive, but not effective. Hope the company is able to do better in the future.
Hey I just got mine fixed after not using it for 1yr.. charge it for at least and hour. - hold down the power button for about 15 secs - Plug in your usb to your computer - if your on Windows PC press(Power and Volume down button to see if Windows see the USB Press again ) open up the desktop app - set it to usb mode - hold down the shift button on your keyboard and click on the update cloud icon its grayed out. let me know it this works for you.
Mixed views on this machine. Ultimately, it seems like an interesting midi controller (although only 8 pads is limited), but this was also sold as a stand-alone instrument - and in practice the options really aren't there yet to justify that.
I just got my Teespring Taetro shirt tonight in the mail, it looks great in grey with you holding the keyboard above your head. I love that you know your stuff and you're willing to share your knowledge. That's why I purchased your merchandise. Please keep up the great work and producing more videos !! I would love to purchase some of your music with a royalty free license that I could use for eLearning projects.
I’d be really interested to see how the orba might link with the OP-Z over Bluetooth. Haven’t received mine yet. Hoping I can use it with OP-Z for more organic performance. Thanks for the video👍👍
One thing I didn’t see you touch one was adjusting keys, is that pretty straight forward? (Maybe I missed it) but for instance in chord mode.. how are you manually setting which key you’d like to be playing in. Thanks! Great work!
What’s the best way of recording your onboard recorded song (made on the Orba itself) so you have it saved somewhere, since the Orba 2 app has the “save” button suspended? What cables and connection to use… Thank you very much>
I tried buying this last january online. I got so hyped about it because it was so fucking cool! What i didnt know what was Artiphon was releasing them maybe it was around april??? Anyways, I got scammed and got a $20 speaker instead.....
If you look at the manual, every gesture in the Orba corresponds with an specific CC number. When you map the parameter, type that number in, instead of touching the Orba. It works like a charm in my Orba 2 I got a couple of days ago.
Ho acquistato Orba perchè lo trovo un'idea fantastica, ma il software è pieno di bugs e difetti. Su Ipad non c'è modo di connetterlo via bluetooth, su Android perde continuamente la connessione per la lentezza dei comandi ricevuti e inviati, su Mac, se usato con daw parte improvvisamente il looper e non cambia sempre gli strumenti come desideri. Se lo stacchi dall'usb e lo usi in modalità stand alone è ok, ma diversamente è veramente complicato tramite app. Spero risolvano quanto prima perchè l'ultimo firmware è stato praticamente inutile ad oggi 5/1/2021. Lo strumento merita, ma c'è ancora tanto da lavorarci su per renderlo davvero professionale.
The preset drum patches are all very much the same. First impressions are disappointing, at least with the Orba presets. I want to like this thing. I think I’ll love it as a Bluetooth midi though
Is it possible to get data from orba to Ableton if it is running On a pc. ? Or is the case that this only works with Ableton on an iMac ? I see the Bluetooth is iOS specific …in one other comment
Artiphon is a scam company. We are hundreds of KS backers who have paid early 2020 for the Orba and have never received it (it's not only left the Chinese warehouse), Artiphon do not care at all about customers
I just got mine as a Christmas present. I wasn't a part of Kickstarter. Where as most, if not all, of what you say is true, I choose to believe that Artiphon are just a bit in over theirs heads at the moment, and might have released it a bit prematurely. There are definately a few things wrong with the software, but I'm hoping that they will actually fix it. And hopefully they wont get to much bad review and go bankrupt before they manage to fix it all. :) Having said that, the device itself works beautifully and it's loads of fun to play on. My kids love it too.
It's pretty simple to figure out... 1 company, using exclusive software for only their computers, vs the accepted industry standard, used by all other computer companies... hp, Dell, Alienware etc.etc... simple logic bud
Or we can think logically about what the average person can afford, and unlike u fancy California folk, most humans can't afford a mac... guess u gotta get outta ur Cali box a bit
Hi Taetro, hi folks, is there any way to route the MIDI data from Android to PC? I have the Orba right here and I'm quite disappointed that it's not working with windows 10 over Bluetooth LE. For a handheld device that's unacceptable! Anybody here knowing about a workaround?
just got one for christmas, very fun to use. fell off the couch and rolled down the stairs when it was on drums mode and it was hilarious the sounds it made
😆
really clean and meaningful arrangement. I like your production style, nothing is filler
Just received the two that I ordered yesterday through my backing in Kickstarter! SOOoo Cool! I LOVE ORBA!
Just got my Orba and I love just "playing" with it so far, but I'm here to learn about how to use it as a MIDI controller, since I don't really have any software or a DAW installed on my PC yet.
yea pc's aren't compatible for blue tooth over midi so in order to really take advantage of that function you'd have to have a mac

It’s perfect for what you seek. Creating beats for guitar
Akai is one of the best brand names in the game when it comes to controllers. Almost anything they make is good.
Also, Akai makes MPCs 😊
Woohoo, 20 min of Orba goodness by Taetro!
Thanks to your awesome presentation of orba I purchased mine! Can’t wait to get it in a month or so :) so exited!
Damn that’s crazy it took a month
This is awesome, saving up for it.
YOU HAVE ALMOST 100K SUBSCRIBERS! what'd i miss, damn i remember you at 1k
Awesome video. Love the xenomorph ring and figure. 👽
Wow that thing is crazy good and great having unique ways to create music 🙌💪❤️
Great insightful tutorial yet again Taetro, thanks for sharing.
I give my order last year, as a backer, and I still only have an update on how shipping will start soon. it was supposed to be a birthday present, but it might arrive by next spring
mivi mavic I ordered mine on 8/17. Shipping says in transit, arriving in 2 days
Mine came a few days ago.
I received a tracking number a few weeks before it arrived.
depends on where you order, I mean the country. I am from Croatia and I am not expecting anything, because I do not have any information or tracking number. just a few updates, where it says it will be next month, and so for months ...
Received mine a few weeks ago, now I just have to find time to use it!! (And find time to watch your video so I know what to do with it 😀)
Do more stuff with the Orba man!
Waiting on mine to show up. Super excited thanks for putting up this video. Very good rundown of the orba
Many Thanks! Just received it from Kickstarter. You're helpful.
more more more more Orba stuff please
Love that haptic feedback on the orba, so innovative 🙌🏼👽, so cool! Hope your well, keep up the great work bro🔥👾

Wow
Its so refesing to see sth like this popping off ! Love it man ! Love from Nepal !
Great demo taetro. Love your videos. :)
From tomorrow my exams are starting but I'm here seeing taetro's video....
How'd it go
@@Ijnebman It was awesome I just did a small mistake that's why I lost 1 marks
Thanks for asking
@@lakshitmusic what happened to bro, bro
I bought it ! Coming very soon!
Thanks for introducing such a valuable item. 🙏
Niiiiice
Thanks, great video, subscribed and just ordered my Orba from musicians friend today.
Can i play this straight away plugged into my pa desk through speakers ?
Was awaiting this vid
Driving home from work with my artiphon in lap watching this before I open my orba when I get home
This is so cool. Might have to get my hands on one of these
Where did you snag that cool alien ring?
And i just ordered one
Waiting for the new akai mini III vs arturia minilab II video
Great video and thanks for the skillshare promo, just signed up.
Awesome thank you Jonathan!

really cool video
Can you make a review for iRig series?
I’d be really interested to see how the orba might link with the OP-Z over Bluetooth.
Haven’t received mine yet. Hoping I can use it with OP-Z for more organic performance. Thanks for the video👍👍
I'm thinking the same with the opz and OP-1. Gonna be fun working all this out, the zed has bluetooth midi support though so in theory will work.
Audio Dukes my thoughts exactly:)
This has been freaking awesome
can we upload custom drum sounds, like a Tabla, to the Orba device?
Nope
One thing I didn’t see you touch one was adjusting keys, is that pretty straight forward? (Maybe I missed it) but for instance in chord mode.. how are you manually setting which key you’d like to be playing in. Thanks! Great work!
He mentioned you can choose your root note in the companion app and that there is also the choice between minor and major scales for now.
Which tool are you using at 5:52, name begins with "ARTURI..." ? thanks
Same question at 10:27
Does he come with built-in sound?
Or must connect to the software, for example, cubaies. Abelton.
Protels etc.
Very cool 👌😁👍
Thank you for the video. Will the Orba work with the Roli Noise app?
What’s the best way of recording your onboard recorded song (made on the Orba itself) so you have it saved somewhere, since the Orba 2 app has the “save” button suspended? What cables and connection to use… Thank you very much>
I see you’re a Giger fan, pretty cool ring and Xenopokemon haha
Yes! Good eye 👽
I tried buying this last january online. I got so hyped about it because it was so fucking cool! What i didnt know what was Artiphon was releasing them maybe it was around april??? Anyways, I got scammed and got a $20 speaker instead.....
So cool.
Are you able to layer your drums with your strings Etc?
Hi, nice would be to see also, wether the "Slide" (Movement) from Center to the Outside also works on the opposit Direction(?)
How did you map the tilt of the orba to change the filter??
I'm curios about how the notes are arranged in lead mode. Are they arranged diatonically? Can you choose different scales or modes?
Right now in the software you can choose your root note and then major and minor. This is universal for all modes so they’re all in key
@@Taetro That's pretty cool
Unwind in the background
Me about to play some no man's sky with this
Wow this thing is cool! Is this similar to the novation circuit because it's a groove box and I am not sure if the circuit can use midi.
Any quantise yet?
What do you use to video edit?
Hi! Do you know if it's possible to use the orba to control the korg volca keys? :)
Hello my name is orba too love from Bangladesh 😇😊🥰🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
You should check out the movie Alien. I feel like you would like it
really what’s it about?
Dove si acquista questo prodotto
Hi legend!🥰📛
Can we map the tilt and slide to different controls of a instrument?
If you look at the manual, every gesture in the Orba corresponds with an specific CC number. When you map the parameter, type that number in, instead of touching the Orba. It works like a charm in my Orba 2 I got a couple of days ago.
Is this more advanced than the PO33?
12:48 Decap?
Is no one else bothered by the fact that his keyboard has no letters
oh EWW I saw this and i thought you meant musical keyboard
I want
Round keys too…
First 😄
They failed to mention that Bluetooth/MIDI only works on Mac/iOS. I waited 10 months for shipping, only to find out it's useless.
Yeah... that is really, really annoying! If BT doesn't work, what about WiFi.
Your energy drink ad drives me mad mate
Apologies bro 😫 I don’t control it unfortunately but I did reach out to the company to let them know folks are seeing it a bit too often
Taetro haha don’t worry that’s all good 🖖
I really want one but it seems they aren't too reliable.
Mine is plenty reliable

I wuld buy bit bigger version with 16 pads
I'd love to see a mute feature in future updates.
The preset drum patches are all very much the same. First impressions are disappointing, at least with the Orba presets. I want to like this thing. I think I’ll love it as a Bluetooth midi though
Feel free to join the Facebook Artiphon Orba User Group.
yeah the link for skillshare is making me pay. do you have a promo code?
Is the orbs fully cc customizable?
Is it possible to get data from orba to Ableton if it is running On a pc. ? Or is the case that this only works with Ableton on an iMac ? I see the Bluetooth is iOS specific …in one other comment
U need to use more light to increase brightness. The instrument is not visible

U realize the majority of people don't use Mac?
do you mean that YOU don’t use a Mac?
🤣 good try, but no... im relating to the 77% of computer users who use Microsoft OS, vs the 10-13% that use mac... Google it if ya need
It's pretty simple to figure out... 1 company, using exclusive software for only their computers, vs the accepted industry standard, used by all other computer companies... hp, Dell, Alienware etc.etc... simple logic bud

Nothing that can’t be done with a keyboard…
