The media could not be loaded. El Orba 2 de Artiphon ha sido una gran adición a mi set de herramientas musicales. Como alguien que está constantemente en movimiento, su portabilidad y diseño compacto lo hacen ideal para llevarlo a cualquier parte. Lo que más me gusta es que puedo empezar a hacer música tan pronto como lo saco de la caja, incluso sin tener experiencia previa en instrumentos. Los pads son increíblemente sensibles al tacto, reaccionan a gestos como inclinación y deslizamiento, lo que le da una dimensión extra a la creación musical. La biblioteca de sonidos es muy diversa, con más de 100 opciones que cubren desde EDM hasta instrumentos más clásicos como violines. Me encanta usar el looper integrado para crear canciones sobre la marcha, y el altavoz incorporado es sorprendentemente potente para su tamaño. Además, su capacidad para conectarse como controlador MIDI vía Bluetooth o USB es un gran plus para quienes trabajamos con software de producción musical. En resumen, es una herramienta perfecta para músicos de todos los niveles, desde principiantes hasta profesionales. Recomiendo el Orba 2 a cualquiera que busque una forma divertida y fácil de crear música en cualquier momento y lugar.

This little machine is amazing! The things you can do with it and the music you can make is something else. Besides the information on the listing, I went to their website and Youtube to watch videos of what other people had created with the Orba. So cool! The only problem with my purchase was that I got it for my 14 year old niece who plays the guitar and writes music. It was too much for her, meaning I would not buy this again for a kid unless you know that they are tech savvy as you do need to learn how to use it. For now, it just sits on her dresser, but I believe one day she'll use it.

It did have a slight learning curve, but not much. I found I needed the quantize option to be off or set to 'groove', and it's important to start recording on the first beat and end it after the fourth beat (it's sooo easy to mess up your loops if you don't start/end it at the right time). After a little practice I got better at creating loops that didn't sound messed up. Maybe I'm actually starting to develop rhythm. xD This thing is a ton of fun to play with, and each time I pick it up I find myself losing track of time. There are tons of different instrument options on the app (which many android users have said don't work for them, but seems ok to me, maybe I'm lucky). The software and app are a little buggy, but not hard to figure out. It's awesome as a MIDI controller too. I've tried it with Reaper and Cakewalk and it's very easy to set up, just have to enable it as an input device. I think people who are more musical may be a little frustrated/feel limited by the scales it locks to, but I like it because it helps you not play any wrong notes. I think it's a bit more for noodling around and generating ideas, or just relaxing rather than for playing specific songs. It's almost meditative to play with. But paired with a DAW it would allow for more control and be a pretty cool production tool.

There is only support for Major Keys while playing. "Black keys" do not exist. So, there are 4 lines supported, Drum, Bass, Chord & Lead. After updating software & firmware, which HUNG, things seemed to work OK, and then, suddenly, in Lead Mode, Note 4 when played was actually Note 5. There was no obvious way to fix this. I did NOT spend a lot of time looking, as there are problem reports from 1 month ago, as of 1/16/2023 of this issue, and yet no fix. ( Something about Diatonic vs Pentatonic. Over my head. ) On the GOOD side, the thing is built VERY WELL. The issue here is that the software is in a VERY EARLY BETA STAGE, and they don't tell us that. I am returning mine, as it just will not do anything useful. FYI, my wife IS a musician and she says the device sucks. I have to agree at this time. I *MIGHT*, possibly, maybe, perhaps buy this again in a year or two, but only AFTER investigating the state of the software. Before you buy one of these, please do review the support boards for the state of the software. I am a professional software developer and it seems to me that: #1 The hardware guy they employ looks awesome. I didn't open it up and look since I'm sending it back. #2 Their software person(s) need to be replaced with competent people. SOOOO many software issues in the 2 days that I played with this thing. Firmware update issues. The owner himself states they do NOT have time to test with all environments!! (WARNING WARNING WILL, DANGER!!) Save your money. Save yourself. Wait until they get the data files AND the software itself fixed. I've taken the time to write this long review, I hope it helps you. I *WILL* revisit this device in a year or two, but for now, it goes back...
