GET TO KNOW ORBA
Orba has two main personalities. It’s a standalone looper that lets you build a song on the go. And it’s a MIDI controller that works with music software like GarageBand, Ableton Live, FL Studio, and the rest. We love it all, so choose your adventure.

ORBACAM
As if we couldn't make it any more simple and fun!
We have a video app that connects directly to Orba and reacts to Orba playing with visual effects.
The results are colorful and social media-ready sharable videos (it also bakes the audio right into your video, so it'll sound amazing).
We call it Orbacam! Give it a whirl and make your own musical selfie.
