[ad_1]

With the success of his first digital musical instrument, Artiphon launches his second on kickstarter: Orba. This device allows you to create music with gestures and movements.

Artiphon has announced a new product for music creation called Orba. This little box shaped half orange embed a synthesizer, a loop function and a MIDI controller. It not only responds to touch, but also to gestures. Its manufacturer presents it as a new and particularly fun way to make music and create songs. It's even for people who are not musicians and have never played an instrument.

Orba offers several game modes that allow you to create tracks for percussion, bass, rhythm (with chords) and melody. It is possible to alternate from one to the other quickly and make sound loops. The creation of music tracks takes only a few moments. The top of the case is composed of 8 keys with integrated LED. These can detect different types of gestures like tapping, rubbing or a vibrato. Finally, Orba is also able to recognize movements such as jolts, inclinations at certain angles and waves. Each movement adds a precise sound effect.

Orba, an independent synthesizer

Orba can be used all by itself like a classic synthesizer. He can then use the built-in speaker directly, or be smart health connected to a smart health connected speaker or a computer via Bluetooth MIDI. All sounds can be customized thanks to the dedicated app for smartphones. It allows to modify the instruments and to add sequences of play. In addition, it offers to the musicians the possibility of share their creations on social networks. Moreover, they are compatible on the most popular music creation software on the market like GarageBand, Logic Pro X or FL Studio.

Artiphon, who had met with great success with his previous instrument Instrument 1, again uses Kickstarter to finance the manufacture of Orba. The campaign, which has just begun, is open until January 12, 2020 at this address. The basic fare is $ 99.
