🔬 Orba test (experimental): LED colours, middle button

To find out what the Orba lets us do. Log shows everything the Orba sends (press the middle button and watch). Read asks the Orba for registers (safe). Write sets one register: only for trying, it can change a setting on the Orba (a restart of the Orba undoes most). Known: domain 01 address 0003 = the active part (0–3).

Spreads hits evenly over the steps of the selected track's pattern (drums: one sound's row), or writes a melody from the song's key. "write" puts the result into the pattern.

Motion: tilt, rotate and shake as controllers

      
On a phone the app reads its own sensors. On a computer, link your phone: open this app on the phone (same address), tap 🌀 XY → 📱 motion → "Send to a computer" and type the code shown here.

      
      
      

        
        
      

      

      

      

      

        
        
        
      

    

  


  

    

      
Sample the Orba's sounds

      
The app plays every drum pad (and for bass, chord and lead several notes) on your Orba and records it through an audio input. After that the sounds play here without the Orba. You don't have to tap through them: "Sample all" switches through every sound by itself. It needs the Orba's sound as an audio input: the Orba 2 over USB (if it shows up as an audio device), or its headphone output into a line-in or audio interface. The built-in microphone works in a pinch, but picks up the room.

How it works: the app plays the marked part and records this browser tab's sound, the first time the browser asks you to share the tab: choose this tab and tick "share tab audio". Works on a computer in Chrome or Edge; phones cannot record a tab's sound. Only for your own practice and sketches: releasing music with someone else's recording needs the rights holder's permission.

        Guide: get the Orba's sounds into the app
        
The Orba's sounds live inside the device; they cannot be downloaded. The app records them instead: it plays every pad or note on the Orba and records what comes out. After that they play here without the Orba.

        
    
          
  1. Cable. Over USB the Orba sends notes, not sound. Connect its headphone output (3.5 mm stereo jack) to a line input of your audio interface, e.g. with a 3.5 mm stereo to 2 × 6.3 mm jack cable. Set that input to Line, not Instrument. The built-in microphone works in a pinch but records the room.
    2. 
          
  2. Orba on. Connect the Orba to this app (Connect, USB or Bluetooth). Its sound lists appear in every Orba track's ⚙.
    3. 
          
  3. Pick the input. Here under "Sound on this computer" → "Orba audio input": choose the interface input the cable goes into (e.g. "Input 1/2"). Switch on "Hear the Orba through this computer" and play a pad: you should hear it on your headphones. If the level is low, turn up the input gain on the interface.
    4. 
          
  4. Open the sampler. On any track tap ⚙ → "🎙 Sample the Orba's sounds".
    5. 
          
  5. Teach the drum pads. Select the Orba's Drum part and tap every drum pad once. The dialog shows how many pads it learned.
    6. 
          
  6. Try one. Tick "Drum kits" only and press "Sample current sounds". It takes about 15 seconds. Then open ⚙ on the drum track: the kit is listed under "Sampled from your Orba"; press ▶ to check.
    7. 
          
  7. All of them. Tick the parts you want (drum kits, bass, chord, lead) and press "Sample all". The app switches through every sound by itself; keep it quiet and don't play the Orba meanwhile. Drum kits take about 7 minutes, all parts about 45. Cancel any time: with "Skip sounds that are already sampled" a new run continues where it stopped.
    8. 
          
  8. Use them. Every track's ⚙ lists them under "Sampled from your Orba": as the track's sound (built-in synth) or as the stand-in for an Orba track while no Orba is connected.
    9. 
        

        
Good to know: bass, chord and lead are recorded every 6 semitones; notes in between are retuned from the nearest recording. Long held notes end after 1 to 2 seconds. Sampled sounds stay in this browser. An exported song carries them only for tracks that use them as their own sound (not as an Orba stand-in).

      

      

        Guide: phone motion and linking a phone to the computer
        
Tilt, rotation and shake of a phone can move the XY pad and any controller (filter, reverb, delay …). A computer has no such sensors, so a phone lends it its own over the network.

        
    
          
  1. On the phone itself. Tap 🌀 XY → 📱 motion → "Use this device's motion". (An iPhone asks once for permission.) Hold the phone the way you want to play and tap "Zero": that position is the middle.
    2. 
          
  2. Phone → computer: open the link on the computer. On the computer tap 🌀 XY → 📱 motion → "Link a phone to this computer". A 4-character code appears.
    3. 
          
  3. On the phone. Open this app at the same address (the phone needs Tailscale on, like for T3). Tap 🌀 XY → 📱 motion, type the code and tap "Send to a computer". Keep the phone's screen on.
    4. 
          
  4. Check. The computer's motion window shows four bars moving when you tilt, rotate and shake the phone. Tap "Zero" on the computer to set the middle.
    5. 
          
  5. Play the XY pad with it. In the XY pad set "motion plays" to a finger: left/right is X, forward/back is Y. Finger 1 plays the pad's mode, fingers 2 and 3 their own effects; your real fingers take the other parts.
    6. 
          
  6. More at once. Open "More controllers" under the pad and add pairs, e.g. tilt left/right → filter cutoff, shake → reverb, the Orba's tilt → delay. All pairs work at the same time, phone and Orba together.
    7. 
          
  7. Fine-tune. "Tilt range" = how far you tilt for the full value; "Smoothing" = calmer values with a little lag.
    8. 
        

        
Over USB or Bluetooth a browser cannot read another device's sensors; the link runs over your tailnet through the Solar Eclipse server, with a short delay. A USB cable for charging is fine.

      

      

        Guide: Splice samples, playing them on every pitch, slicing
        
    
          
  1. Link Splice once (computer, Chrome or Edge). 🎙 sounds → "📁 Splice / sample folder…" → "Link folder…" → pick your Splice folder (Windows: Documents → Splice). The browser asks once per visit to read it again (↻ Rescan).
    2. 
          
  2. Find sounds. Search by words, tempo or key ("vocal 124", "Cmin"), filter loops / one-shots, or tick "song key". ▶ listens. Tempo and key come from the file name, like Splice names its files.
    3. 
          
  3. More sounds. "Splice ↗" opens Splice; spend your credits there as usual, the desktop app downloads into the linked folder, then ↻ Rescan here.
    4. 
          
  4. Take one. "+" puts it into My sounds (it syncs to your phone). "🎹" makes a track that plays it on every pitch, Orba style: play it on the Orba's pads, 🎹 pads / piano or the keyboard, ⏺ records. The root note comes from the key in the name or is detected; fix it in the track's ⚙ ("detect").
    5. 
          
  5. Slice it. "✂" opens the slicer: cut by hits, by beat grid (the loop's tempo), into equal parts or by hand (strip above the waveform: tap = cut, drag = move, double-tap = remove). Tap the waveform to hear a slice.
    6. 
          
  6. On the pads. "Put on pads" makes a track with one slice per pad (up to 16). With "also write a pattern" the loop replays at the song tempo, and you can rearrange it in the arranger's step grid.
    7. 
        

        
Splice has no public interface, so the app reads the downloaded files on your computer and does not see your Splice account or credits. Splice's licence lets you use the samples in your music, not hand out the raw files: keep songs with embedded Splice sounds to yourself when you share the app.

      

      

        Guide: songs on all your devices (sync)
        
    
          
  1. Save once. ♬ → type a name → Save. From then on, with "Save changes automatically and sync" on, every change saves itself a few seconds later.
    2. 
          
  2. Open it elsewhere. On the other device (same address) the song is in ♬ → My songs within seconds. If it is open there and has no unsaved edits, it updates by itself.
    3. 
          
  3. What travels. Songs, your own and sampled sounds, and XY presets. Deleting travels too.
    4. 
          
  4. Both changed? The newer save wins. A device with unsaved edits keeps them and tells you; saving there overwrites the other.
    5. 
        

        
The songs are stored on your server (tailnet only). Without a connection everything keeps working on the device and syncs when it is back.
