However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
