Orba : Amazing sound device - experience and interface

4 years ago

We bought Orba in preparation for workshops with people with intellectual challenges. Having experiences with designing, creating and building our own synths, guitar pedals and sound devices, we were absolutely amazed by Orba. The product is so versatile and yet easy to use. It has great features and sounds we can all relate to. We have many similar devices in our collection, but this is so far the most advanced. It can be used separately or connected with the sound system, it could be used as MIDI interface or solo. The fact that you have a polyphonic synth and a looper, that you can feel the vibration via motors while playing drums is just great. It has a great potential in the spheres of inclusive and assistive music technology, as well when informally working with children and developing their music skills from the earliest stage. And it is designed so organically to fit in the hand of the player. The most interactive music device we haven't seen in a long time. We bought first two, and when we got it, we ordered 2 more because we realised it will be in frequent use. Orba could be a great present for everyone from a small child to seniors, as well as to be used in education and on workshops.
