A World of Sounds at Your Fingertips Orba 2 opens up a vast sonic landscape by integrating both electronic and acoustic instruments into its sound engine.

Its compact design and built-in speaker make it ideal for outdoor or on-the-go performances. Orba 2 gives you the freedom to create and play any sound, anywhere, without being tied to a screen or cables. Transform Everyday Sounds into Instruments With the Orba 2 app, your environment becomes part of your music. You can record sounds from the world around you, turning anything you capture—whether it's the hum of a city, the rhythm of a jackhammer or the melody of a street performer—into a playable instrument. This ability to craft personalized sounds out of everyday noises encourages creative exploration and offers a fresh way to bring unique textures into your music. Whether you're recording ambient sounds or capturing unexpected rhythms, Orba 2 enables you to transform your surroundings into musical expression. Effortless Looping for Instant Song Creation Orba 2's built-in looper takes song creation to a new level, allowing you to layer multiple sounds effortlessly. With Drum, Bass, Chord, and Lead modes, you can create full songs directly on the device. The upgraded memory in Orba 2 lets you record up to 128 bars, offering significantly more space to build complex compositions than its predecessor. Thanks to the new quantizing feature, all of your recordings stay perfectly in time, allowing you to focus on creativity and experimentation without worrying about rhythm. Whether you're building a simple loop or crafting a detailed track, Orba 2 makes it quick and intuitive. Expressive Performance With Touch and Motion Control Orba 2's innovative design includes eight highly sensitive pads that capture both touch and motion, allowing for expressive performances. Its nine core gestures—Tap, Press, Spin, Radiate, Tilt, Shake, Slide, Vibrato, Move, and Bump—give you the freedom to manipulate sounds in real time. These gestures can control the onboard synthesizer or external MIDI software, letting you experiment with infinite sonic possibilities. The integration of touch and motion sensors means that no two notes will ever sound exactly the same, making every performance a unique experience. From subtle movements to bold gestures, Orba 2 responds dynamically to how you play. Full MIDI Integration for Maximum Flexibility Beyond being a stand-alone instrument, Orba 2 also functions as a powerful MIDI controller. It connects via USB-C or Bluetooth to your favorite digital audio workstations (DAWs), such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and GarageBand, as well as mobile apps. Orba 2's compatibility with MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) allows you to control multiple notes independently, giving you the power to create complex and dynamic pieces. Whether you're using it to control virtual instruments or as a performance tool in live settings, Orba 2's MIDI capabilities offer unmatched flexibility for modern music production.
