yup!

[@Khordmaster]

Can confirm! Quantization is coming! 💪🏾😎

[@LiamKillen]

Aaaaaahhh game changer!

[@rsw987654321]

Cool. Looking forward to it

[@LiamKillen]

me too!

@@LiamKillen is there quantizationyet i want to buy this

[@LiamKillen]

not sure yet

[@JosheJade]

Amazing coverage on the Orba! You will be popular with these videos as the Orba becomes more and more popular among artists and hobbyists. Thank you so much for this coverage on your channel!

[@LiamKillen]

My pleasure! Cheers

[@Mibbzz]

Just got mine yesterday, and I 100% agree that it needs quantization, it should also snap to the nearest bar when you hit the A button. Great video! Subbed!

[@LiamKillen]

Appreciate that!

[@hiltonhowell3098]

That noise at the beginning scared me awake. Nice

@@LiamKillen I fell asleep watching synth videos. Orba looks pretty fun

[@rohbaert4062]

Ordered mine today and can't wait to try using it as an input device for my OP-Z. Both super portable and additional velocity sensitivity.

[@LiamKillen]

That would be a killer combo!

[@iosmusicman]

Guess who just got one? 😂 I love it already. Time to create something with it this weekend. Cheers. Lee

[@LiamKillen]

Cheers! Glad to help

[@NickGunzburg]

So the Orba uses synthesis for its sounds, including drums, so there are no samples. It would be cool if they put a sound editor in the app though.

[@LiamKillen]

That would be a game changer.

[@blanchsb]

@@LiamKillen I noticed that in app I am able to duplicate a sound and then select to IMPORT something else because it goes to my files to load something to the sound pack. Sounds like you can make your own synth file and import it. Now only if I could find out how to do this...........maybe I need to read the manual lol

[@LiamKillen]

I haven’t looked i to this yet! Keep me posted haha

[@euphoriuhh]

Awesome video! I got in on the Orba Kickstarter but I’m still just scratching the surface. Looking forward to more 🙏

[@LiamKillen]

There is more coming!! 🙂

[@themidireporter3357]

Saw this in NAMM posts. Interesting instrument.

[@LiamKillen]

🍻

[@TheChipmunkWhisperer]

"Our Own Samples"..? I wonder if they saw your video, because now with Orba2 you can do exactly that

[@LiamKillen]

Right!?

[@emilianoescalante4418]

This may be just me, but I get a kind of Korg KAOSSILATOR feeling with this new synth. Don't get me wrong, this one obviously has more connectivity and way newer tech., but.....you know.

[@LiamKillen]

Interesting take

[@sonicultura]

Thanks!

@@LiamKillen Orba 2 was released yesterday! Wiiiiiiiiii

[@dugnsand]

LK - great intro to a unique synth/instrument. I have one on order. Can you tell me how long it took from ordering to having it in your hands?

[@LiamKillen]

It took a few weeks. I know they’re overwhelmed with orders you should be getting it soon!

[@LiamKillen]

🤯

[@3d-illusions]

is it just designed to make a small loop, or is there a way of composing and arranging different sections?

[@LiamKillen]

It’s more of a loop machine realistically

[@rookmaster7502]

I don't think Orba's hardware circuitry allows for a quantization function to be implemented with a software update; only a new, redesigned version of Orba can make such a function possible.

[@LiamKillen]

Yeah I agree with ya there

[@VJFranzK]

It's possible, the question is: will they do it? (I'd also like quantize / arp as an option)

[@philphilphil]

Damn got a full cut eh! I need one of those 😁

[@LiamKillen]

Haha! Yeah felt like i needed one. Looks cleaner

[@hellf.o]

Great! Just got my orba and already love it! Is there a way to change preset without using the app? Thank you subscribed

[@LiamKillen]

I’m pretty sure you need the app for that

[@soniquest]

Nice review. I remember seeing this when it was in development. I really hope the quanitise is coming, and they're not deliberately leaving it off out of a misplaced sense of being cool like the OP1. Cause like you said, cool like the OPZ would be better in this case. I'm surprised this is quite cheap - definitely makes it more tempting. Do you have to use the app to change sounds and tempo, or are there on-device shortcuts you can memorise like with the OPZ?

[@LiamKillen]

You can also change tempo on the device as well. And thank you! 🙂

[@soniquest]

@@LiamKillen cool. It seems like a nice solid device, I'd be happy throwing this into a bag when travelling.

[@LiamKillen]

So easy- really durable too (i’ve dropped it a few times already lol) it’s like a rock

[@ilikeitdark13]

Nice review for a cool device. Can you do bluetooth to a speaker, or ios bluetooth only for MIDI etc?

[@LiamKillen]

I’m pretty sure you can but it might depend on the speaker. As for midi control i’ve actually never tried wireless but linking on-board sounds can be done wireless no prob.

[@kathleencoveny3860]

Fabulous .. fun .. great sounds ... thanks for the insights and tips ..

[@LiamKillen]

Pleasure!

[@rainsoakedpuppy]

Wait a minute, but you own pocket operators! I would think those are the smallest synths you own, they count! ...they're certainly less chonk anyway.

[@LiamKillen]

About the same size actually hahaha. But they’re not synths

[@jeroenjoetjoep]

@@LiamKillen How are POs not synths? Some aren't, but for instance the Tonic and the Speak definitely are.

[@LiamKillen]

I’ve learnt since I posted this that they are in fact synths. I was thinking of like the PO 33 which I think is more of a sampler than a synth- but the older versions especially. Yeah- they synths

[@jeroenjoetjoep]

@@LiamKillen Synths and/or toys (ha!) PO-12 rhythm, PO-24 office and PO-33 K.O! are sample-based. The rest all synthesize their sounds (just looked it up on TE website). Keep on rocking LK, love your Orba vids. Been eyeballing this little guy!

[@LiamKillen]

Thanks! And cop it! 👾👾👾

[@elsantoproductora]

Can you store midi sequences or is it an audio looper? It looks really fun and the price is great. Thanks for the video!!

[@LiamKillen]

I haven’t explored the midi aspect of it too too much but audio sequences are a breeze!

[@elsantoproductora]

Did they send you V.2? It looks very promising

[@LiamKillen]

They did not!

[@elsantoproductora]

@@LiamKillen Come on @Artiphon

[@cheapnoise9014]

Can you make beats without the app?

[@LiamKillen]

indeed!

[@ranikalakaar]

Nice vid

[@LiamKillen]

Salutations and thank you

[@EdLrandom]

Capacitive touch is the same thing that touchscreen on your phone uses.

[@LiamKillen]

Interesting. Yeah it basically eliminates latency

[@Artiphon]

And trackpads as well. We're surprised it's not used more for music control.

[@LiamKillen]

It’s genius

[@coolelectronics1759]

yeah but its pickup-and-play you never have to wait for it to boot up, no distractions! all creativity and it will work without wifi and is standalone! Also great for people with low vision who could benefit from something like this with tactil feedback

[@LiamKillen]

It’s a very solid lil machine overall 🌀

Where I can buy this product?

Thanks bro..👍

cheers

[@tsp141181]

Other than just saying “connect to Bluetooth”, can anyone verify for me how to actually do it? Press the power/Bluetooth button light and it’s just a battery indicator, press and hold and it shuts off or on...that’s it.
