Artiphon is truly innovative. It's so refreshing to have such new and creative ways to make music. Tools like ORBA and Instrument 1 have allowed me to think outside the box and come up with music I probably never would have before. They also allow me to perform in interesting ways that are a treat not only for me, but also my audience.
I also enjoy how I've come to engage these instruments on a more casual basis, such as at my desk or sitting on the couch, without feeling limited by the plateau I've reached on my traditional instruments or feel like I should be doing a rigorous practice session before making music. I can just create effortlessly, without any personal or societal pressure. I'll also add that using both the ORBA and Instrument 1 in my studio for professional music creation has been equally amazing. I love how they've breathed new life into my virtual instruments and effects, enabling a whole new level of recording and expression! The build quality of both products is top notch!
Artiphon is a great little company, with big ideas and the dedication to follow through. Their support is great and their product sustainment (updates) are more frequent and customer-driven than many other MI companies. They've been very communicative and transparent, both with Kickstarter campaigns and in general.
I look forward to seeing, and of course playing, any new instruments or concepts that Artiphon comes up with in the future! I'm sure it'll be just as mind-blowing and life-changing for me and many other musicians who enjoy embracing new tools to progress musical expression.
