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.
@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?
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.

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.
Should Apple collect all the original iPhones and exchange them for iPhone 14s?
I am completely new, Just learning by experimenting.
Am completely new. Trying to figure out things.
