A browser control surface for the Artiphon Orba. Plug the Orba in over USB, or connect over Bluetooth, and drive everything the official app used to: instruments and presets, per-part mix (volume, reverb, delay), tempo, key and scale, quantize. Plus a built-in looper and a piano-roll note editor.

Open it in a Chromium browser.
- Per-part instrument and preset switching, mix, tempo, key and scale, and quantize, with live two-way device sync
- A browser looper that records external MIDI controllers into per-track loops (the Orba's own looper only records the Orba itself), with polymeter and movable loop windows
- A piano-roll note editor with snap, marquee select, and undo
- An optional key-mapping layer for a hardware controller
The protocol is its own project: orba-protocol, a spec plus reference libraries. The optional DOIO KB16 controller firmware is orba-doio.
