Built around a circular sequencer, it lets you distribute beats across eight sample tracks and instantly explore polyrhythms, shifting accents, offsets, swing, etc. Shape each sound with flexible controls, load your own samples, and transform simple pulses into organic, hypnotic rhythms that keep moving in unexpected ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing the Euclidean Sequencer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach of Orbita’s eight tracks can run its own rhythmic cycle. Start by selecting a track, then set the number of Steps to define the length of its pattern. Increase Hits to add triggers, which are automatically spread as evenly as possible across the cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUse Accents to add emphasis within the pattern, making certain hits louder and giving the sequence more character. Offset rotates the pattern around the cycle without changing its number of steps or hits, making it easy to find new interactions between tracks. Swing shifts the timing feel, adding groove and reducing the mechanical precision of repeating patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe most interesting results often come from combining tracks with different cycle lengths. For example, a kick pattern with 16 steps can play against percussion with 11 or 13 steps, creating evolving rhythms that take longer to repeat. Try building a simple foundation first, then gradually add shorter or uneven patterns for movement and variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUse the Reset parameter to set the number of beats after which the sequencer restarts from the beginning. This is especially useful when combining patterns with different step lengths, allowing you to control when evolving rhythms realign and repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBanks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOrbita comes with a selection of banks covering classic drum machines, acoustic percussion, found sounds, experimental sources, and more unusual generative material. Browse the categories and choose a bank to quickly load a new set of sounds into the sequencer, ready to be shaped into a new rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCreating your own banks is just as easy. Load your samples into the Bank Editor, rearrange them with simple drag and drop, and save your custom bank for later use. Combine your own recordings, favourite drum sounds, and unusual textures to build a personal sound library for Orbita.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA selection of factory banks includes: acoustic drum kits, 808, CR-78, DD-10, DR-220A, Elsita, LELL UDS, SR-LP-88, Super Drums, Super Percussions, Ult-Sound DS-2, VL-1, Hybrid Grooves, TX101, Mixed Percussions, and more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilter and Modulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach sample has its own filter, with LowPass, HighPass, BandPass and Notch modes, available in 2 pole and 4 pole versions. Use it to soften a sound, remove unwanted frequencies, or make something more resonant and unusual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach sample also has its own LFO modulation section. Choose a waveform, set the rate, and send it to Pitch, Pan, Volume, Cutoff or Resonance. It can add just a little movement, or completely change the way a pattern feels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlay it like a Drum Machine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen you prefer a more immediate approach, Orbita becomes a classic eight pad drum machine. Trigger each sound directly, play rhythms by hand, and assign custom MIDI notes to match your controller or performance setup. Use the pads on their own, or combine live playing with Orbita’s Euclidean patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Long Time in Orbit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe first version of what eventually became Orbita started more than ten years ago as a small experimental sequencer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOver the years, I kept returning to the idea, rebuilding it several times and exploring different ways of creating rhythms through circles, divisions and overlapping patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSome parts of the original concept survived, while many others changed completely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioThing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64472674271601,"sku":"AUDI-ORB-8230","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/3202\/2514\/files\/Orbita-GUI-2x.webp?v=1787973367","url":"https:\/\/audiodeluxe.com\/products\/audiothing-orbita","provider":"AudioDeluxe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
