Orba beginner looping demo 

So update app or firmware in any order ?

It can send audio through the headphone jack like I'm using, or output midi signals to a computer DAW through USB, but you would need a program to record to MP3. Recording isn't my area of expertise, though, so you might get a better answer from the Artiphon forums or an Orba FB group.

All of these were on board sounds played through external speakers. Many other voices are included in Orba as well.

It has speakers and a headphone jack to play stand-alone, an app to swap out the factory sounds for each instrument, and can pass midi signals to recording software. I've added a link in the description.

@@MrFrenchyge wow, that's great! Thanks for the quick reply and great video!

Using the Orba app you can set the key that will be used for your song. Most of the Lead voices use a pentatonic scale like I'm doing here, but there is a diatonic scale option as well.

@@MrFrenchyge Awesome thank you!

Just my desktop monitor speakers. The camera wasn't picking up the Orba speakers well enough.

Using the Orba app you can choose between the various maj/min scales, but I don't know if you can do any other custom scales.

@@MrFrenchyge what about modes? dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian...minor harmonic..?

The loop length is set when you hit the A to end your first record (hi-hat in this video). You can make the loop any length but cannot extend it once it's set.

@@MrFrenchyge also can you add recording on an instrument once you have already recorded it? Or do you have to record the instrument in 1 take?

@@cookahbetsy Adding and removing instrument layers to the loop is possible and demonstrated in the video.

@@MrFrenchyge i was wondering about a loop you already recorded for example can you go back into that loop.leaving the original recorded pattern, but just add a few notes?

@@cookahbetsy Yes you can. In the video I record hi-hat on the first pass, set the loop, then go back and add kick and snare notes on the next pass. Then I add a fill on the toms the next time through.

The loop will end at the completion of the measure after the A is pressed. If you press the A *after* the 1 beat then Orba will record 3 beats of silence into the loop to complete the measure. You will need to press A before the end of beat 4 in order to create a good loop without the dead air.

@@MrFrenchyge THANK YOU SO MUCH, makes complete sense. Duh haha

This is a scam
