Orba 2 Alternative

 Here is a link to a collection of presets I posted originally on theArtiphon Community forum in June 2023. The content is mixed -  some good and some not so bad. Some I have since abandoned because I didn't like them or had no use for. Since then, most have been tweaked  where I felt I could improve them, but these versions are the ones I first posted. https://www.mediafire.com/file/owhub94qt751evg/DavidsOrba2Presets-RePost.zip/file (Note: I noticed a couple of people have downloaded this collection. If you are new to this stuff I would suggest trying a few particular ones first (because they don't involve samples, which take up storage space and are easier - and they are amongst the better ones).

I will almost certainly update them for the Chorda in

 IMHO The Orba 2 is a capable and likable device but I feel it is hamstrung and limited by the approach of Artiphon to how it should be used. Right from the start this didn't suit me, so I began finding out how to work around that. Artiphon has provided the capabilities for users to create their own presets for the device, but they don't offer all that I require. Presets I have created have partly overcome some of those limitations. I considered creating a document that would cover what I have learnt and what can be done, but that was a daunting project. I may attempt to do it in due course. It is important to be aware that experimenting with the Orba 2 can brick the device. I don't guarantee anything. Artiphon are aware of this sort of activity, but they won't support it or answer questions about it. I will use this space to offer presets I have created and feel may be useful to others. As far as I can tell,  presets for the Orba 2 will also work on the the new Artipho
