It was a birthday gift and my kid loved it. He started making loops the second it came out of the box. It was a pleasant surprise. Glad I got this new and different gift.

Ya it stoped working after an hour very poorly built I tried charging it and hit the power button..... Dead as a fish out a water. Not even worth sending back with postage costs. Look elsewhere great idea but needs better quality and service. Very disappointing.

It is as expected in your advertising. Thx my child and me have so much fun with it. Thx guys.

The Orba arrived quickly after I completed the order, and worked as described. The only glitch was that, when I followed the instructions to update its software, it wouldn't turn on or do anything. Fortunately, a techie responded to my message and, following her suggestions, I did get it to turn on again. She said sometimes it doesn't successfully upload the software and then goes into a "deep sleep" mode.

Being a senior person with some musical experience (guitar and woodwinds) but minimal exposure to MIDI and recording/looping, the concept of the Orba was somewhat intriguing. After reviewing Artiphon's ads, reviews and tutorials, I purchased it as a personal birthday gift. I really appreciated the way Artiphon reached out to me while waiting for delivery, further fuelling my anticipation. Also, Orbasynth was announced which peaked my interest. I received my Orba at the end of April and had few issues with learning its interface and how to connect it to my Windows PC as well as my Android tablets. I was soon laying down Drum, Bass and Chorus loops then playing Lead in real time. There is a lot to explore with the Orba, even considering some of its limitations (not being chromatic and limited to eight bars of looping). It will keep me occupied and having fun for a long time. Can't wait to show it to the grandkids. I find it much easier to compose when connected to my tablet, as I have some " finger" difficulties getting the Orba to respond quickly to button presses to erase a loop, start/stop etc. All this being said, I am absolutely delighted with the Orba and think it is a refreshing approach to making music for the fun of making music. With the Instrument 1 and Orba in mind, I'm keenly interested to see where Artiphon is going with all of this. Thank you, Artiphon, and well done!

I love this thing very easy to Handel and figure out my kid's will b on it for hours same as my self gonna buy another so we can jam together

Bought it for my teenage granddaughter and she is enjoying it veryuch

Love the Orba! I love the idea of the instrument 1, but it wasn’t quite there yet, at least for me. Not quite as responsive as I’d like, and I was kind of hoping for more variety in terms of guitar tone. Getting a refund on the return was a breeze, and I’m really looking forward to instrument 2!
