Built-in Microphone

We’ve integrated a high-quality, omni-directional microphone into Orba 3, designed to capture clear, vibrant sound. It works seamlessly with Orba 3's upgraded sound engine, allowing for richer, more dynamic sampling.

One-Button Simplicity

Capturing any sound with Orba 3 is as simple as pressing one button. Instantly transform your sample into a playable instrument, automatically tuned to your key—no extra equipment or cables required.

Sounds real good.

Choose from 300+ high-quality sounds, from guitars and pianos to experimental synths. The Artiphon Connect app offers Sound Packs inspired by genres like Hip-Hop, Trap, and Tropical House. With the built-in mic, you can easily sample on the fly or upload your own.

On loop.

With Orba's integrated looper, you can start recording instantly — no extra screens required — by using the 'A' button to toggle through menu functions right on the device itself. Layer and record the four parts: Drum, Bass, Chord, and Lead using the built-in metronome, while Orba 3’s quantize feature ensures your notes stay perfectly on beat making complete songs.

Shape your sound.

Modulate sound with nine gestures like Tilt, Shake, Tap, and Bump. Orba's velocity and pressure sensitivity allow expressive control even after striking a chord. Use Radiate (move your finger outward) to adjust volume, Tilt to add effects like pitch bends, or Shake and Bump for percussive sounds like a shaker or tambourine. Orba’s capacitive-sensing interface captures every micro-movement, making each performance unique and bringing expression back to electronic instruments.
