    The Orba 2 is absolute freedom for the creative looking for a musical outlet. I’m a musically untrained adult with a good ear. I have no other e-music equipment or programs. The Orba 2 is intuitive to play and there is a great range of presets on the app to play on the Orba, record, playback and switch out with other presets and then save your song to share and playback.

    This is just the beginning… Artiphon has lots more for me to explore and grow.

    • EVERY SOUND FOR EVERYONE

      Artiphon sprang from a simple realization: digital music creation enables anyone to make any sound in the world, but most people don’t realize that yet.

      Despite amazing technological advances, the creation process remains remarkably intimidating. For tens of millions of new people to start making music, the barrier between musician and non-musician needed to fall. So the startup from Nashville began designing highly intuitive smart instruments, physical and virtual, that could be played by everyone instantly.

    • Founded in 2011 and based in Nashville, TN, Artiphon designs smart instruments for the next billion musicians by combining hardware, software, and shareable content that anyone can play. The company’s electronics products, Orba and INSTRUMENT 1, are award-winning handheld smart instruments that let anyone create music wherever they go. Artiphon’s founder/CEO Mike Butera holds a Ph.D. in Sound Studies, and Artiphon’s investors include Warner Music Group, Shure Microphones, and other industry leaders.
