Known Issues for Orba 2

Hello All. We've created this topic to share some of the known issues that we are currently working on. While not every bug is a quick fix, we do want to be intentional in keeping everyone updated on what's going on behind the scenes with Orba 2.


Android

  • When connecting via USB, the app may freeze if USB charging is on
  • Some Android devices are experiencing Bluetooth connectivity issues
  • UI adjustments are needed for some Android phones
  • Cannot import audio files to create user presets


All Platforms

  • The selected key in the app may not be accurate
  • Scrolling presets on mobile devices can accidentally open a preset

You have to update and fix the Orba 2 app. The Android Bluetooth connection issue has gone on too long. Don't abandon us Orba 2 owners for your new Chord owners... get one product working before launching the next!

OMG !!! for real !! Thank you Jack I was screaming the same thing, they did it with Orba 1 and now with Orba 2 . Come on Artiphon stop selling 1/2 working goods !!!!. 
 That said I do love playing with my Orba 2 ... what works on it anyway LOL..  :(

Looks like new firmware and client app is out.

As far as I can see, the following stuff had been  fixed in Android app:

* volume/reverb/delay controls for instruments seems to be sane now. Was erratic.

* Swiping presets list with swipes does not cause preset to be loaded when you do not intent that. (thanks god, that was really annoying)

*  Problem when UI was unresponsive until you switch to task manager and back - is gone.

* Creating a new song no more creates indescribable  visual bugs.


That's really good.




There is an issue when changing Key or Scale (Major/Minor) in a Lead voice where the scale will automatically jump to Pentatonic even if it is not specified in the voice. For me I can re-create this by loading Orba Diatonic and then switching keys. It will change to Pentatonic. 

I haven't figured out how to re-create this yet. It appears to work when you first turn on Orba 2 and the Orba 2 app.. After some event, it goes back to Pentatonic as mentioned above. I will report back if I figure out the trigger.

I CANT UPLOAD SAMPLES TO MY ORBA 2  via usb c on Windows and Android, I cannot upload any samples and my mic is not cutting it for quality. it crashes the app on windows and it doesn't let me click on any of my files in the app.

Hey Alex welcome to the club lol, just dose not work well and they don't cair to fix it lol. :(

Oh that's interesting.  I'll check with the team to make sure they are aware of it.  Thanks.

Hi, I just want to add my request for an update on the Android Bluetooth issue. Can you say what other MIDI related apps are having problems with Google? What have they done to mitigate their problems? Does Google have a schedule to address it seemingly common issue?


When will the android bluetooth problem be solved? If you do not intend to solve it, I will return the device.

I still see the same issues on Android that I had reported 6 month ago, so I am curious to get answer as well.

Yep same here. Also I am not able to play any of the "New" link/sounds, all I hear is a light buzz/vibration ?????. I was downloading in USB mode via my desk top. App is saying I do have the latest version and up to date. ???

Seems there are a lot of problems with the orba2. I just got mine yesterday and I'm playing around with it now. I recorded a loop which I saved with the app. I can play back the loop on the orba2, And I can pause it by pressing a +5. However I cannot seem to stop the recording. After I pause it and I want to start recording a new song or loop I press A + 6 to start recording and it just starts playing the loop again. I cannot figure out how to turn the loop off so that I can start recording a new loop...

Onurcum ben cihazı iade ettim. imkanın varsa iade et derim. tam bir fiyasko androidde çalışmaması
