Artiphon Connect

The Orba/Chorda instruments are very fun to play if you have anywhere between 0 and 50 years of experience as a musician. Pros can find new uses for them as MIDI controllers. They keep adding features and improving the app.

This app makes using my Orba so much easier. It’s super straightforward, and I love how quickly I can switch up sounds and settings. If you’re into experimenting with music, this is perfect. Great job, Artiphon team!

The app has great extra sound packs! Love my Orba.

The orba has been a great tool for creativity, but the interface is a bit overwhelming. I’ve accidentally overwritten songs I made because the file structure was confusing and not akin to a regular desktop file saving structure

A fun little gadget, once I got the hang of the A button. The device locked up on me a couple of times and had to be turned off and back on again. Sometimes there is an annoying buzz-kill sound interruption when switching between parts. Charged it fully and battery life was nowhere near 5 hours. I got maybe 2 hours use before it quit on me. Quantization seems pretty sketchy at times. Also, some of the sound packs say connect with USB, but when I do it still won’t transfer to the Orba.

I should’ve done more research on the app before I purchased it but importing samples is impossible on iOS and android, which negates the portability of it. 25% of the sound packs have to “download missing files” but nothing happens when I hit download. The other 75% of sounds are terrible with no way to edit it unless attached to a computer, which again negates the portability of it. Maybe direct sampling on Orba 3 makes it worth it but Orba 1 and 2 are toys unless you’re attached to a computer.

Every updat is a new set of hoops to jump through and with the newest update my orba2 doesn’t even connect to anything anymore (pc or iPad) . Driver info isn’t where website says it should be ! Seems like a good idea until it’s in your hands now I wish I had returned it 😅

It was really good I still use it to make songs I highly recommend it (but only get it if you have an Orba 2 but if you don’t then GET ONE THEY ARE AWESOME!)

Won’t connect to BT no matter what I try…

I love Artiphon and stuff, but I have a MAJOR problem. There’s this song I really want to have, but instead of the usual “Send To Orba”, I get, “Download Missing Files”. WHAT THE L IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!??? Anyways, I click the download missing files button, and guess what it does? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Devs, pls respond to this and not have it be some dumb ai generated comment. This is a serious problem and I am only 11. Just help me, Artiphon. Sincerely, Hikarimoon [EDIT] Didn’t I just say I was 11? I can’t contact you, and I won’t. Can’t you just at least release a update? If not, dis rating’s going DOWNN. Once Again, Hikarimoon (Agent 6) P.S. For the people who are reading this, PLAY SPLATOON. Also if somebody other than me has experienced this problem, write a review and say that you agree with me, Hikarimoon! (Or just say Agent 6 or Six) Bye, DEVES FIX THIS FOR THE LAST TIME AND I KNOW THE RESPONSE YOU GAVE ME WAS AI GENERATED. For the readers, KIRBY! Po- po- Poyo! And Pix Ai! (If you didn’t know, Ai is the Japanese word for love. NOT to be confused with AI) This is one of the longest reviews I’ve ever written DEVS FIX THIS, FOR FRIGES SAKE! Byeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
