Bad Kickstarter experience with Orba project (still waiting after over a year) Backed the Orba project on Kickstarter. After more than a year of waiting I have still not received a tracking number or estimate for delivery time. Apparently there are still hundreds (if not thousands) of backers who have not received the unit, while it is already commonly available in shops. Based on comments there were also problems in the previous Kickstarter project. Avoid.

Looks nice, but very bad software: Don't buy! I got my kickstarter Orba way too late. Weeks after I bought another one online. About the same price. The software is very bad (no save/load). Not suitable for serious stand-alone use. It can be used as a midi controller via a USB-cable. But there are better and cheaper solutions for that. Artiphon constantly promises improvement. Nothing. I wouldn't buy it until Artiphon has the software in order ... PS: Yes, this is Artiphon's standard response. Translation: - temporary = 4 months already - it's our top priority = apart from selling cool stuff with bad software without a decent warning - we are perfecting this feature = not possible because it is no longer there.

The Orba 2 is absolute freedom for the… The Orba 2 is absolute freedom for the creative looking for a musical outlet. I’m a musically untrained adult with a good ear. I have no other e-music equipment or programs. The Orba 2 is intuitive to play and there is a great range of presets on the app to play on the Orba, record, playback and switch out with other presets and then save your song to share and playback. This is just the beginning… Artiphon has lots more for me to explore and grow.

I love my Orba 2 I love my Orba 2. I have enjoyed making music in ways I never would have imagined. It is like all the tones in my head are in this thing. My friends are amazed at the abilities of this magical instrument. With all the touch sensitivity, gestures and swiping, this team of developers have truly created a special musical device.

EU Store is a scam? Their EU page - artiphon.proactiveaudio.eu looks like scam. I made an order 4 days ago and I did not receive any information about the shipping of my order. So I wanted to write to support and ask about it, but now I see that the page is down and whole website looks like scam. I'm worrying now that I just lost 200 euros and will never get my order.
