Built for Orba 2
Timbre Dock is the iOS companion for your Orba 2 — connect over USB, dial in Lead, Chord, Bass and Drum independently, and manage presets and samples, right from your iPhone.
Features
Timbre Dock talks directly to your Orba 2 over USB, so every control in the app stays fast and reliable while you manage your whole kit.
Plug your Orba 2 into your iPhone with a USB cable for the fastest, most reliable connection. Bluetooth MIDI is also supported.
Lead, Chord, Bass and Drum each get their own preset and octave range — tune one without disturbing the rest.
Set Major/Minor and root note once — it cascades across every instrument on the kit at the same time.
Browse and select presets by name and load them onto any part in seconds.
Record or import your own sounds and upload them straight into any part of your Orba 2.
Save a loop with a name and cover image, then pull it back up any time — build a library of songs to jump back into.
Orba 2 compatibility
Timbre Dock speaks the Orba 2's own protocol directly over USB — the recommended connection — with Bluetooth MIDI also supported, so every control in the app maps onto what's actually happening on your instrument.
Plug your Orba 2 into your iPhone with a USB cable before opening the app, then launch Timbre Dock.
Select Lead, Chord, Bass or Drum, then load the preset you want to play.
Dial in key, scale and octave, then keep going — changes apply live on the hardware.
