Artiphon has launched the Orba 3, enhancing its popular handheld instrument with live sampling capabilities. Users can now record sounds directly on the device using a built-in microphone, eliminating the need for external systems. The Orba 3 features four modes—bass, chord, drum, and lead—that adapt sound properties dynamically. Each mode utilizes a sophisticated sound engine for automatic tuning and cropping. Priced at $160, the new model complements the existing Orba 2, now available for $120. This innovation positions Artiphon as a leader in portable music technology.
