I'd give it 5 stars, but I've found it harder to use as a standalone looper than I expected. That said, hooked up to your favorite DAW, it's great.

Lots of kickstarter companies that I have supported give rewards when so many units have been sold, or, at the very least, give the opportunity for your original backers to purchase additional units or upgrades after backing ends. You on the other hand, give rewards to those willing to buy later by giving them free travel cases ??? That is the worst customer service thing that you could possibly do. I figured the folks that backed you without being able to see product would be of more importance. Thought your product was one of the most special and unique items that I have backed BUT, being Xmas, and I'm looking to spend money on gifts, you lose business by your selfishness. Shame on you
Response from ArtiphonDec 10, 2020
Hey Tommy, I'm so sorry your experience with Orba and our Kickstarter has been spoiled. We never intended for retailers to start selling Orbas before our backers had them in hand. Before the disruptions from the global pandemic, we had planned to fulfill every Kickstarter backer before fulfilling our retail partners’ orders. These delays threw a major wrench in our shipping logistics, and we’re trying to make the best of a difficult situation for all. If you would like to drop us an email at [email protected] I will personally take your email and do everything I can to push your Orba along. We're constantly communicating with our fulfillment partner every day on our backers' behalf to make sure all of our Kickstarter Orbas land as soon as possible. I'll be on the lookout for your email. We really appreciate your contribution to our Kickstarter campaign and hope we can still offer you an exceptional musical experience. - Johnny | Artiphon Support

The Orba is very fun to play and experiment with. I'm still learning how to play it and mentally map the keys. The battery seems to last a long time and it's cool to be able to customize the sounds with the App. The not-so-good was it took a long time to arrive. I ordered from the Kickstarter and the Orba was available and (presumably) shipping from their web site for a quite a while before my unit shipped. I think priority shipping should be on the Kickstarter buyers.

Love the instrument but development is going slow and sotware is still very basic with feature still disabled but optimistic

The company, by this time of the review, has allready gained potential. Is working constantly to update there products and hopefully has great ideas for future products. Artiphone's Orba is a cool MIDI Control tool with some unique abilitys. Also its nice to have it with you to start a little entertainment or record song ideas.

I love my Artiphon. It’s not as responsive as I’d like it be, as with a guitar. But it brings a lot of wonder to my music therapy practice.

The product was delivered relatively on time considering covid delays. The product is quality. However the software side of things has been severely lacking. it's been almost two months and the Android app and even the Windows app still have serious issues and limited functionality.
