Here's a step-by-step guide to using Orba's MIDI over Bluetooth feature with your computer.
Before we start, it should be noted that this will only work for macOS computers. Unfortunately, Windows does not currently support MIDI over Bluetooth.
The simplest way to connect via Bluetooth is through the Orba app.
1. Click the Orba icon in the upper-right corner of the app to pull up the Orba Connection window.
2. Select Bluetooth LE MIDI and choose the Orba device from the window that follows. If you don't see Orba in the list of available devices, make sure that Orba is turned on and within range of your computer.
It's also possible to connect via Bluetooth without the Orba app. To do that, follow these steps:
1. Open Audio MIDI Setup on your Mac. This is found in the Utilities folder. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Command + Space. Type “Audio MIDI Setup” to find the program.
2. Open the Window drop-down in Audio MIDI Setup and select Show MIDI Studio, or use the keyboard shortcut Command+2.
3. Select the Configure Bluetooth icon from the header window.
4. Select Orba from the list of available devices. If you don’t see Orba on the list, make sure you have it turned on and in range.
