This has been out for some time now, and I was wondering:
1.) how many of you have/use one (or more)
2.) how intuitive is it
3.) will it play well with my gear * see list in signature

Thanks for the feedback!

1. I have one
2. 6/10
3. yes

It also has the function to act as a MIDI to CV controller and will sequence most anything with MIDI and/or CV.

1. Yes, I use 3. Generally not at the same time though. Only if I'm lucky do I get to use all three(generally if i want to use a multi patch on the xpander).

2. 6/7-10. Depends on your approach. Once you understand the OS it becomes stupid easy to use. The way it operates is a slightly simple/easier to use machinedrum, with the dual functions per knob/button.

3. Absolutely! You could even dual control two pieces with one orb. One via midi, the toehr via cv. It's not to useful(because it'll be on the same sequence(r)), but it's worth mentioning.

I find them to be extremely useful. It wouldnt be the case if I had two sets of hands, but hey whatever.

+1 on using 3. they're great little midi / cv sequencers.

Yeah, it has a minor learning curve since the menu screen is limited but once you learn it it's easy to use.

Hi all!
Anybody knows about the existence of an ORB MK2?
I can't find anything about it, but a seller claims that he's got an MK2 for sale - but he also doesn't know what difference between MK1 and MK2 exists...

TIA
