This unique feature allows you to blend the sonic textures of your environment into your music, offering endless possibilities for sound design and personal creativity. Loop and Layer Songs With Ease Orba 2 makes song creation effortless with its built-in looper, allowing you to record and layer Drum, Bass, Chord, and Lead parts directly on the device.

These gestures can control Orba 2's internal synth engine or be used with external MIDI software, giving musicians unprecedented freedom to experiment with sound. The seamless blending of these gestures makes each performance unique, ensuring that no two notes are ever exactly the same.
