Chord Mixing with example from New Order

I've found that once you record notes, they won't change even if you change the patch or the key afterwards. You can leverage this to record/overdub octave bass or borrow a seventh chord for example. I created a loop of New Order's Perfect kiss using this idea. Sharing..

I can only imagine. As long as you enjoy it, I enjoy the result.

Maybe The Model, Showroom Dummies, Airwaves or Antenna have more luck ;-)

You're Welcome.. It's quite hard to get perfect timing without quantization. It's also hard to get sounds close to the sounds Kraftwerk were using with such a primitive synth. I was hoping it would come out better too. :) 

Again thank you very much :-)

To be fair, Louise and The Book of Love captured the "feel" of the original better. But that's just how it sounds to me. May be caused by the Orba's limitations. Thanks anyway!

Took a stab at the Robots.. The chords seem to disappear when you turn quantize on :( I guess the poor little chip can't handle it.

You can download .song files, copy them into the Songs folder (C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Artiphon\Orba\Songs on Windows), then load them from the App.

How do you import the songs that you have created into the orba?

"Its also fun to play on the Lead voice using just pads 1 with 7-8-6." It is magic to my ears! :-)

Just a small correction: the original is by Magnetic Fields; Peter Gabriel covered it ...

Thank you very much!

I'm not much of a singer but I enjoyed this https://youtube.com/shorts/JPphk6RODyM?feature=share

I give you.. The Book of Love. I added a bit since the Magnetic Fields' version is so minimal. You can delete the parts you don't want.

@BJG145. Is that you playing Take 5 on that crazy instrument!?! Amazing!!!! You are quite the musician!

Bravo! :-)

Take 5 is an old favourite. I spent a while learning this on Dualo. :-)

The Orba Diablo fell apart the first time I tried juggling it on a USB cable. But I've got loftier ambitions now, for a triple Orba mounted in a Pool triangle, when my v2 turns up...;-)

I'm pretty lazy. And that's why I tell myself that it's good not to know some things. Things that sometimes take away the magic of something beautiful. Example: Since I know what modulation is, I often experience it as a trick.

Nevertheless, I googled "time signature". That went well :-). I already knew Take Five has a less common rhythm - 5/4-,  just like Golden Brown by The Stranglers.

Then Path Of The Blazing Sarong by Bill Ravi Harris & The Prophets must be extra challenging. That sounds like an extra weird rhythm. And - maybe because of that - the tune never bores me. I may be wrong but it reminds me a bit of Black Light by Material.
