Artiphon

Am completely new. Trying to figure out things.

I am completely new, Just learning by experimenting. 

Should Apple collect all the original iPhones and exchange them for iPhone 14s?

Hello. So many promises for ORBA that are never made available again because the hardware is weak, so they created ORBA 2. They should collect the initial ORBA and exchange it for ORBA 2.

To unsubscribe from a single topic in the fora ("forums"), click on the "Turn off" reply notification link at the bottom of the email. You need to do this for EACH TOPIC that you are following. By default, you follow any topic that you started or reply to in a forum.

To disable reply notifications IN A FORUM, click on the "Following" button at the top of the topic inside the forum. That will prevent you from receiving reply notifications.

If you won't want to have to do this in a bunch of places, you can usually block emails either from Artiphon or the Forums inside your email client. In Gmail, you do this in the "three dot" "More" menu.

P.S. I'm not an Artiphon employee. Just a happy customer.

It will turn into a "Follow" which shows that your are no longer following the topic, so you won't be notified.

That's odd because Artiphon has to approve all comments made to the fora, and even in response to this topic, there are several comments, including this one, that are critical of Artiphon. 

If you search the fora, you'll see that the reason that the Orba "1" cannot simply be software upgraded into an Orba "2" is because some of the new features, such as sampling, require a lot more memory. The issues with quantizing have also been addressed. It is something that has to be done right, or else it will make things worse. They have been actively working on getting quantizing to work on the "One." I have been in the beta testing for that. It works...sort of. It's a bit clunky. It turns out that it takes lots more memory and processing power to do quantizing right, that why the Orba 2 can do it right out of the box. If they don't do it right, the same people that have been complaining about it missing will start asking why it can't properly handle 13 measure loops of 16th note triplets in 7/8 time.

There are MANY "functional instruments" that don't do quantizing or even looping. Even without those features, the things that the "One" does are a lot of fun.

Personally, I'm surprised that they could add so much functionality to the Orba 2 and sell it for only $50 more. I took my Orba 1 to Guitar Center. They gave me $30 for it and 10% off the Orba 2 because of the trade-in and free shipping to my house. Good deal as far as I'm concerned.

@Rick Antonoff "My Orba 2 arrived (finally) yesterday, I spent hours today going through the tutorials multiple times.  It just doesn’t do what the ads, videos, and tutorials say it’s supposed to do.  I’m very disappointed." 

Clearly it does all of those things that they did in the ads and the videos. What exactly is it that you are trying to do that you can't get it to do?

My Orba 2 arrived (finally) yesterday, I spent hours today going through the tutorials multiple times.  It just doesn’t do what the ads, videos, and tutorials say it’s supposed to do.  I’m very disappointed.  

I still keep getting notifications on this forum after repeatedly contacting Artiphon, asking them to delete my account. And still.. I'm an Orba1 sucker. I bought the Koolaid on Kickstarter. Whatever they promise, don't take it to the bank.. Since they seem to have difficulty deleting my account and unsubscribing me me from Forum updates, I decided I'd chime in my disappointment in this poor excuse for a company every time I get an E-mail. Here's to hoping they delete my acccount. Orba1 is a 100 dollar paper weight..

Peace out,

I just unboxed my Orba in the last hour.  Messing around with it now.  Hope to share thoughts and suggestions on the forum in the future.  Let's all share experiences and learn from one another.

Hi all!

I'm a new user from Rome, Italy. I received Orba as a Xmas present and I like very much playing around with it, I really like the concept and the feeling it provides.

I also like that there's stuff to explore, like its usage as a controller for Logic Pro and creating new presets for the internal synth.

Here are some minor negative notes instead, I suppose it can always be useful to know the first impressions from newcomers:

• Like reported by others, the definition of "song" in the app is confusing, it makes you expect that when you load a "song" from the app you also get a demo sequence which showcases the loaded sounds. Justs a wrong naming IMHO, then you read the manual and understand that a song only loads sound presets for all 4 modes and some global settings. Then maybe they should have been named "global presets" or "globals" or similarly. But it's ok once you understand it.
• I was also confused by how the "change-octave-by-sliding" feature works: I expected that when holding A, pressing pad 8 and then sliding one pad up, I was moving one octave up with respect to the current setting, e.g. like pressing the usual "octave up" button on a standard controller. Instead pad 8 always represents the base octave; so if you already are playing two octaves up from the base setting, and you want to move one octave further up, you have to press pad 8 and then slide up THREE pads, which is not always an easy gesture. Anyway, as in the previous note, this is also ok when you understand how it works; though I still think the other way around would have been more user-friendly.
• The pitch change when I use the vibrato gesture is hardly noticeable, and it seems to me it's not enabled for many preset sounds.
