Artiphon Orba 3 with Sleeve

Full Description

Sample any sound with ease

Orba 3’s standout feature is its built-in omni-directional microphone, designed to capture vibrant, high-quality samples from any environment. With just one button, you can turn any sound into a playable instrument, instantly tuned to your chosen key. This feature opens up a whole new realm of possibilities, allowing you to use everyday noises, voice snippets, or musical ideas to create a completely unique track. No extra equipment or cables are required, so you can sample wherever you are.

Choose from over 300 sound options

With more than 300 high-quality, sample-based sounds to choose from, the Orba 3 gives you the freedom to explore a wide range of instruments and genres. From traditional instruments like guitars and pianos to experimental synths, the sonic palette is rich and diverse. If you want more, the Artiphon Connect app offers downloadable Sound Packs inspired by popular genres like Hip-Hop and Trap. And with the new sampling feature, you can even upload your own sounds, expanding the possibilities even further.

Layer your music with the integrated looper

Orba 3 makes multi-layered music creation simple with its integrated looper. Record up to four parts—Drum, Bass, Chord, and Lead—without the need for extra screens or gear. The device’s A button lets you toggle through menu options directly on the instrument, while the built-in metronome and quantize feature ensure that everything stays in time. You can start recording instantly, layering different elements to build up a full track effortlessly, and with Orba’s intuitive interface, it’s all done in a straightforward, hassle-free way.

Shape your sound with intuitive gestures

Orba 3’s nine gesture controls give you expressive ways to modulate your sound and add dynamics to your performance. With just the movement of your hand or fingers, you can alter pitch, control volume, or add percussive effects. Gestures like Tilt, Shake, Tap, and Radiate let you explore different layers of sound, while the pressure and velocity sensitivity enhance the depth of expression. These gestures make each performance feel personal and unique, bringing a natural, hands-on approach to electronic music-making.

Seamless MIDI integration

Orba 3 offers seamless connectivity with music software, thanks to its MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) support over both USB-C and Bluetooth. This allows you to control multiple parameters at once, opening up more complex layers of expression. Orba’s gestures and pads can be mapped to your preferred DAW, such as Ableton Live or Logic Pro X, providing hands-on control and enhancing your creative workflow. Whether you're at home or on the move, Orba’s easy MIDI integration elevates your music-making experience beyond traditional instruments.
