Artiphon Orba Basics Course: Making Your First Song

[@lorendigiorgi]

These tutorials are so fun and informative. Great job! Just got m Orba 2 and am having a lot of fun with it.

[@TheRightRoast]

This thing looks absolute fire. Ordered mine yesterday and I'm counting the seconds till delivery.

[@norulescrew6636]

Finally got my Orba 2 and cases yesterday! 🙌 Loving every minute of it!

[@onichupacabra]

Did your case come in the box? Mine is missing :(

[@norulescrew6636]

@@onichupacabra it did yes, srry to hear

[@clint68]

Got mine ordered! Can’t wait to get it!!

[@BitcoinBitz]

you guys are doing an amazing job with these videos keep it up!!

[@BauerHouse]

Great videos, informative and fun! Great work on the acting guys!

[@hernanvergara9313]

I like the videos, very easy to follow and understand. Wish everyone else did this with their hardware. This device has good potential. I'll wait till further firmware gives it the ability to customise samples. Be able to load sounds from various sources. Would've been cool if it had an SD card slot. I noticed you'll be attending NAMM this year. Keep striving. Cheers

[@Artiphon]

Hi Hernan, thanks for the feedback! By the way, samples can be imported as wav or mp3 files. If you have any questions about how to do this, please feel free to reach out.

[@DerekErbSolutions]

These are all awesome! I'm trying to reproduce your amazing work on my Orba 2. But I don't get the same sounds you do... Can you tell us which presets you used for Drums, Bass and Chords? Thanks!

[@Artiphon]

Hey there! We're using Tom Thum's "Plosive Device" presets.

[@DerekErbSolutions]

@@Artiphon Thank you so much for the reply! Are these the same as his Kit, Face Bass, Poly Gottal and Blippy Lead presets or is this a separate grouping somewhere else? Obvious newbie here ...

[@Artiphon]

@@DerekErbSolutions No worries! It sounds like your searching through the "Presets" tab. If you scroll over to the "Songs" tab in the app, you can load all four modes at the same time. However, yes, the presets you listed above are the same as the sounds grouped together in the Song.

[@primorelf8277]

The sounds coming from those preset sounds nothing like the ones you're playing in the video

[@Vandragorax]

I just got one of these and it's AMAZING!! Where are the lessons on how to use the Orba app? I want more of this great content in teaching me how to get the most out of my Orba PLEASE :D Teach me more!

[@Artiphon]

More content about using the app coming soon, but in the meantime, feel free to reach out to us at [e-mail]. We're happy to answer any questions!

[@tomerickson8661]

This is extremely helpful at showing me how much I suck.

[@cbella27jones14]

Waiting for mine ❤🎉

[@shalomormsby]

This is all very helpful and amusing, but it leaves a burning question unanswered: What if we want to do the opposite of erasing a song (as you show in this video)? How can we save and transfer songs from Orba 2 to a DAW, such as Ableton Live?

[@Artiphon]

We have many more tutorials coming soon and will definitely be covering how to use Orba 2 as a MIDI controller. In the meantime, feel free to check out the manual for details about this: artiphon.com/pages/orba-2-start And if you have any questions about a specific DAW, please don't hesitate to reach out. 😄

[@shalomormsby]

@@Artiphon I just looked through the entire PDF manual and didn’t see any instruction on how to save my Orba 2 jams on my local machine, and so that I can load them up in my DAW. Can you point out where that guidance is, or make another of your funny instructional videos about this? I’d really like to be able to save the sketches I create on my Orba and then transfer and further develop them in Ableton Live. Thanks!

[@Artiphon]

@@shalomormsby Ah okay, I see what you're looking for. Sorry about that. Saving your loops is a committed feature for Orba 2 and our development team is currently working on it. We'll let you know as soon as it's live.

[@Artiphon]

@@shalomormsby I just saw your tweet about the instructional guide. Please shoot us an email at [e-mail], and our tech specialist will be happy to walk you through it.

[@Tokyo2minutes]

nice demo

[@Eocenic]

This is a fantastic instrument, I have used it non-stop since it was delivered today! Shoutout to @Venjent for introducing me to this device!

[@ramblinjay3816]

Dang nice tutorial

[@SirenOffspring]

I'll get one someday...

[@MLG_Herobrine]

Could you do a cover of a song to show the power of Orba?

[@Artiphon]

We love doing covers. Got any suggestions?

[@MLG_Herobrine]

​@@Artiphon Nirvana - Smells Like Team Spirt Zelda & Chill Freaks - Surf Curse I think a lot of people will want to play music too, more than just making music (me, at least).

[@kodefree]

Where is the video about on to use the Orba App?

[@Artiphon]

Coming soon!

[@chenchaso39]

@@Artiphon Any update on this?

[@Artiphon]

@@chenchaso39 While we haven’t yet filmed that series, we’re happy to answer any questions you have about the app. Please feel free to reach out.

[@carloscamacho1893]

For some reason it's not deleting when I hold A + 6 or when I hold A and shake.

[@Artiphon]

Hi Carlos, are you attempting to delete just one part the entire song?

[@carloscamacho1893]

@@Artiphon just one part

[@mociman]

where is the orba app tutorial?

[@Artiphon]

Coming soon!

[@nintendodungeon]

k, but how do I save songs?...

[@Artiphon]

Song saving is still under construction, but our development team is working hard on it. We'll let you know as soon as it's live. 👍

[@The1KDB]

Petey is legit.

[@sadoche]

But you can't save your loops.

[@Artiphon]

You can! You can save them to the Orba 2 app and export them as MIDI or wav files.
