In The Meantime ....

 New presets will be posted very soon, but in the meantime:

Some people will want to get the content that Artiphon sent out to users. I didn't download all of them myself but here is all that I did get if you need it.

There will be some who need to update their devices to the latest firmware. We can only help for the Orba 3 and the Chorda. Until we can get a working file for the Orba 2 (eg: something that was sent by Artiphon in a support response) we can't help. Here is what we do have, and we know works:

I meant to add a note that I would not recommending loading Stems onto you device unless you are sure you want them. They use a lot of long samples and have limited use, taking up storage space you might want eventually. It's up to you, I can see some folk will love them. I don't.


In case it's useful to know for Orba 3 users I think they came with firmware version 1.4.14 and 1.4.16 was the version they pushed out automatically (something they didn't usually do) which fixed a serious bug. It's a bit of a guess but they are the only ones that I'm aware of existing. The other devices went through a whole list of different firmwares. If you know better I'd be happy to know.

What have you done with my chords Ma

 In July 2024 Artiphon released new firmware and a new version of the Connect app for the Chorda and Orba 2. This had a big effect on Chord presets and this was a big blow to me. I will try to explain it and what I have been trying to do to mitigate the damage it did to my use of the Orba 2 and the Chorda. The most obvious difference was that all chord presets by default play their standard chord set. Other chord sets defined in a preset are ignored and are no longer used. The standard set is OK, but it is restrictive and rather plain - but I could get round that by creating my own chord sets - I made a lot of them. That has now been stolen from us and instead the app only allows us two alternatives, the pentatonic chord set, again OK but even more restricted, and the chromatic set which bewilders me as I can find no rational to the choice (and placing) of the chords included, there's not even a basic set of chords for the chosen root key in there. (Another change was that the Chor...

A Bunch of presets for your Chordas and Orba 2s

 Here we go, bass presets to enable you to do more, lead presets to have some new sounds and greater range. There's even a drum kit there.  No chord presets though - this is because almost all the ones I have made for the Orba 2 get spoilt by the way the Chorda treats them. When I've got a handle on that I hope to start adding some other treats. Mostly diatonic and with versions that allow you play all those black notes you couldn't before. And a couple of surprises. Bear in mind that if you load the presets that use my samples they will take up storage space on your device. That shouldn't be a problem unless you have been wildly making loads of your own samples - and even then it will probably been some time before it matters. (I have a lot of other sample sets on my testing Orba and it's just fine.) Those that use existing Artiphon samples are no problem. Do read the notes that come with these presets, and you will benefit if you also look at my OrbaAlternatives P...

I'm back again

Since the apparent demise of Artiphon I've been trying to post information that might help people out, and am considering offering some content (just presets, not songs or stems) because there won't be anything coming from from Artiphon. It's a bit tiresome posting stuff on different places so instead I plan to post anything I have to offer here. In due course, feedback will make it more likely to continue - because I'm just human, but negative doesn't have to be a bad thing if it helps me be informed what people might like/want. I'd like to say that I will post something new monthly - but that's not realistic so it may be longer than that. I will aim in each link to include something brand new and something that you may already have if you've used my previous preset packs (although they may be slightly different for you convenience). The bigger packs and the format may have put people off using them. From now on I will use the artipreset format which is...
