Each set of sounds is grouped by color – the drums are green, the basses are blue, etc. – to match the modes on Orba and Chorda. When you select your instrument channel, be sure to change to the same mode on Orba, and everything will be mapped out for you and ready to go. This session is available for GarageBand and Logic Pro.
