Timbre Dock

Features

Everything your Orba 2 needs, from your phone

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.

Recommended

USB connection

Plug your Orba 2 into your iPhone with a USB cable for the fastest, most reliable connection. Bluetooth MIDI is also supported.

Independent parts

Lead, Chord, Bass and Drum each get their own preset and octave range — tune one without disturbing the rest.

Global key & scale

Set Major/Minor and root note once — it cascades across every instrument on the kit at the same time.

Preset library

Browse and select presets by name and load them onto any part in seconds.

Custom samples

Record or import your own sounds and upload them straight into any part of your Orba 2.

Save your songs

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

Built specifically for Orba 2
