Gentle ping about saving/exporting. Orba 1 is an excellent product, but I would like to save my first songs somewhere outside app, so I can later scare my friends with them )
Will midi/song export be available with Orba2. If not, where is the .mid data file stored locally on MacOS for the Orfba app?
I'm really hoping to use Orba2 as a remote creative midi/sampler that can also be a midi controller vs a phone. app.
Are there any updates for this?

Artiphon, wake up.
2 years!!!
Registered just to add my vote to the 'please update this or open it up' crowd. It doesn't need to be prettty, just functional. My Orba literally has dust on it currently, but I would put it to use in a heartbeat if I could add my own sounds/other features. Heck, I'd pay another $15 for that function. Just please no more incremental updates or you risk losing the goodwill of people who are currently supporters.
It's been about a year since 'save' was restored as a function, but not the ability to save as a useable media format!? WAV, mp3, etc. - all of that needs to be part of this functionality. Saving to the browser is inadequate, particularly as users are locked out of that browser from exporting to a stand-alone audio file.
Please fix this!
That's fantastic news. But take it easy a little. After at least 8 months of hard work, the development team also deserves some rest.
Hey Jason and Aeon, just want to make sure you know that we hear you. We can't make any announcements at this time but we've heard similar feedback from other Orba players and we're working on improving Orba. Thanks for voicing your feedback!
Put the pressure on them. All it takes is a few vocal and dedicated people to effect change in a big way.
I bought into a piece of popular software once years ago, and when the developers refused to listen to people and slacked on their support, a few of us posted on every forum, video and website we could find about the product and didn't stop until they acquiesced.
Even one person can move a mountain, they just need to be dedicated.

I agree. Hardware-wise the product is good, but Artiphon really needs to step up their game when it comes to supporting this product.
I'm sure they will get things done and have something very special for us all soon.
To be clear: a few presets every now and then are not to be considered a serious update ...
Please make up your mind, Artiphon. Update your software or hand it over.
"Depending on the vendor, end-of-life may differ from end of service life, which has the added distinction that a vendor of systems or software will no longer provide maintenance, troubleshooting or other support. Such software which is abandoned service-wise by the original developers is also called abandonware. Sometimes, software vendors hand over software on end-of-life, end-of-sale or end-of-service to the user community, to allow them to provide service and further upgrades themselves."

Hi Evan, it's nearly half a year later and this functionality still seems to be missing.
Can we please get an ETA on this?
I came into this product fully prepared to offer my full support in getting the word out there, but when I discovered that I couldn't export my creations it was a big dissapointment.
The Orba is neat, but without this functionality I just can't take it too seriously... :/

So I created something on my Orba and loaded it into the iOS app on my ipad. I am then able to share the midi file so I email that to myself and try to load that into Audacity or even Ableton and it won't import it into either. When I save it as a audio file and try to import that in I get something about corrupt file type or not supported file type. Any suggestions on what I have to do?
