8 and a frustrated music lover I'm 86 and a frustrated music lover. I play no instrument,but wish I did. Your product allows me some degree of music creativity. I don't think my "practicing" will amount to much, but, damn I'm having fun

ORBA 2 as a sampler/sequencer I don't use the ORBA 2 as a musical instrument for concerts. More like a VERY portable sampler/sequencer. And in that effect it works great. I make experimental music and I can make layers and beats when and where I want ! Would be nice to have more drum presets or to sample our own... Any upgrades to the software on the way ??

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.

Build quality seems nice Build quality seems nice. Software can be finicky, and not allowing USB connection to iOS at this stage is real poor form. Being forced to connect to a laptop kind of limits the portability. I cannot figure out how to get my input not to slave to the set BPM, so I'll tap out a beat, but it is always different in playback.

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.
