A bicycle bell, a bird in a tree, and your roommate’s amazing voice can be the start of a new song. You can also import samples you’ve already recorded, such as your solo from the middle school musical.

The Orba Gestures.

Orba's nine gestures: Tap, Press, Vibrato, Radiate, Spin, Bump, Move, Shake, Tilt

As simple as tapping with one finger, Orba 2 captures even the most subtle micro-movements.

Its improved ceramic-like playing surface simultaneously reacts to the nine simple gestures: Tap, Press, Radiate, Tilt, Shake, Spin, Vibrato, Move, and Bump.

Loop songs in seconds.

Play them for hours.

An Orba 2 song can be 5+ minutes.

Orba 2 has an integrated MPE looper that allows you to record loops right on the device itself.

Using Drum, Bass, Chord, and Lead modes, you’ll be able to combine these sounds to create songs that are uniquely yours.

Play fast and loose,
