Artiphon

@Steve Broderson

I had the same problem.

If you have an older Obra 2 that has been sitting (Firmware 1.0.8 or similar), don't use the Type-C to USB2 cable that it came with, find a Type-C to Type-C cable, and a Windows that has a Type-C port, and then it should recognize it. 

If it's still not recognizing, got to Control Panel > Hardware And Sound > Device and Printers > Add a Device (it should appear as Unkown). Add it, and then again try the cable.

If that doesn't work, try downloading the App, connecting via Bluetooth, find it and connect.  And then again try the cable.

I haven't quite mastered replicating this issue yet. It seems to function properly upon initial activation of Orba 2 and its accompanying app. However, after some unspecified event, it reverts back to Pentatonic, as previously mentioned. I'll provide an update once I identify the trigger causing this behavior. fm whatsapp download

 It sounds like there might be an issue with the software you're using to import the MP3 files. It's possible that there's a compatibility issue or a bug causing it to crash. I'd recommend checking for updates for both the software and your Windows 10 system. Additionally, you could try using a different software or converting the MP3 files to a different format to see if that resolves the issue. If you're still having trouble, reaching out to the software's support team or searching online forums for similar issues might provide some solutions. Good luck!

Hey Alex welcome to the club lol, just dose not work well and they don't cair to fix it lol. :(

I CANT UPLOAD SAMPLES TO MY ORBA 2  via usb c on Windows and Android, I cannot upload any samples and my mic is not cutting it for quality. it crashes the app on windows and it doesn't let me click on any of my files in the app.

My Orna 2 has not been able to connect to any PC or application. It is unusable and brand new. I submitted a few tickets and nobody is answering. I have been robbed!

So So disappointed with my Orba 2. What a crap company, they keep putting out new stuff but wont fix there old problems, they should recall the orba2, fix them and reissue new ones  to the loyal customers who TRUSTED them. Can't say enough bad stuff about ARTIPHON :(
 Never buying or recommending them to anyone, EVER !!!!

just got my orba2. updated firmware. SUPER disappointed to see that Bluetooth does not work with Android 13, especially as this thread is over a year old. This is a bad enough issue to abandon the product, please fix, without bluetooth it basically means tethering with USB which makes it useless for anything but sitting at your computer

Hi, I just want to add my request for an update on the Android Bluetooth issue. Can you say what other MIDI related apps are having problems with Google? What have they done to mitigate their problems? Does Google have a schedule to address it seemingly common issue?

I really fascinate by reading your threads they are just amazing to read 

OMG !!! for real !! Thank you Jack I was screaming the same thing, they did it with Orba 1 and now with Orba 2 . Come on Artiphon stop selling 1/2 working goods !!!!. 
 That said I do love playing with my Orba 2 ... what works on it anyway LOL..  :(

Looks like new firmware and client app is out.

As far as I can see, the following stuff had been  fixed in Android app:

* volume/reverb/delay controls for instruments seems to be sane now. Was erratic.

* Swiping presets list with swipes does not cause preset to be loaded when you do not intent that. (thanks god, that was really annoying)

*  Problem when UI was unresponsive until you switch to task manager and back - is gone.

* Creating a new song no more creates indescribable  visual bugs.

That's really good.

Welcome to the clubLOL.. I still have not received Any help with my A2 issues
