What is the Artiphon Orba?
video upload by Floyd Steinberg
"The Artiphon 'Orba' is a 4 part multitimbral, 12 voice polyphonic virtual analog / wavetable synth equipped with some smartphone sensors, MIDI support and unique ideas, marred by some software shortcomings and a noisy headphone jack. That doesn't stop it from creating some great sounds and being fun and inspirational. Table of contents:
00:00 intro
00:38 hardware overview
02:37 touch & tilt controls
04:19 example track #1
06:36 the Orba companion app
08:46 MIDI features
09:57 MIDI demo w/ Nord Drum and Novation Peak
12:23 conclusion

"This particular Pro One has been fully serviced and everything is working as it should. On top of that, it's also been upgraded with the Techsmechs Fatar keyboard -- which seriously changes this thing into something extremely playable and musical. Really: once you've tried the Fatar keys on a Pro One you'll never want to go back to the j-wire version.
Somewhere along the road and over the years an owner added the buttons and switches you see above the mod wheels -- they aren't connected to anything, though. I looked pretty closely at the circuit board and as far as I can tell it doesn't seem like they were *ever* soldered to anything. Kind of fun to flick them back and forth, but that's about all they do. They're solidly installed, and don't negatively impact the synth -- just add a little flair and uniqueness to this particular instrument."
