ORBA is a musical gadget or more specifically, music-making gadget by Artiphon that can fit into your palms. With this gadget in hand, you can make your own music whenever and wherever you want. It is a looper, synth, and controller all in one. You can play any sound and make beautiful music with just a touch.

It is designed in the shape of a hemisphere which according to Dr. Mike Butera, Founder and CEO, Artiphon, was inspired by daily life objects like, orange, tennis ball, teacups and even the way we hold our phones to control them in our hands.

The top portion of ORBA is flat and contains 8 segments that let you play or stack drum, chord, bass, and lead layers. There are buttons for play, pause, and record as well. There is a menu button at the center which helps you cycle between features. It has feather touch sensitivity, instant playability, and a minimalist form factor.

This tiny instrument has more to it than playing and creating music. It has a gyroscope and an accelerometer and is also velocity-sensitive. The device responds to a number of gestures due to these features. The intensity of sounds can be altered by just sliding your finger across the device, add vibro effects by wiggling your fingers while pressing a pad, you can shake it, bump it against a surface or swing it in the air to produce different sounds. They also have multicolor LEDs.

Artiphon ORBA can be connected to software and music apps using MIDI through Bluetooth or USB (Type C) although it is not necessary because it has a built-in speaker and synth and anything can be played directly through ORBA. Artiphon says that this device is compatible with any MIDI app and all the MIDI-enabled digital audio systems like GarageBand, FLstudio and Ableton Live.

One interesting thing about this device is that it can make a beginner feel like a professional and a professional feel like a beginner again. Think about that. Even a professional musician can find this amusing and fun to play with. It is small enough to take anywhere and loud enough to play it in your friend’s group.
