I quite like the UI and how things are laid out in each plugin and the randomisation and Orb options seemed to produce musical results quite easily. I just put in a random MIDI event at bar 16 on a muted MIDI track in CbB so that it would playback the Orb instruments. Initially I was only getting Arp and Chords playing but I went into Bass and Melody plugins and set them to DAW mode and they then played. I installed the demo and I have to say that I like the results I'm getting. They really need to make the GUI resizeable. As a chord/songwriting tool this isn't that bad. It made some very nice melody/arp/bass bits.

So that's a plus (a test I usually do with new stuff).Ĭaptain Chords does have more parts (drums) and slightly better sound set/synth set, but I think I like the generated stuff in Orb Producer more. Little tiny fixed windows.ĭidn't crash and my CbB project reloaded after saving. UI isn't resizable at all, which really hurts it a ton. I did like a few of the bits it came up with though. Mostly you are setting a few parameters and it randomly makes something. It doesn't have tons of options (neither does Orb Composer come to think of it). The bass and chords generators are kind of plain (not a surprise though). I liked the melody and arp generators the most. The AI options for making MIDI does seem fairly nice. I think I like Captain Chords synths better, but they are pretty comparable. The synth is very EDM/Pop and the presets are kind of generic bland synth presets. So to silence it you have to turn off the DAW sync. Which would be fine if you could make the MIDI empty, but you can't. If you drag the MIDI out and want to play it you have to turn off the DAW sync, otherwise it always plays the MIDI it's generated. The syncing with the DAW is kind of strange too. I ended up having to solo each of the four instruments to get them all to play. The whole coordination system seemed a bit off. I drag and dropped the MIDI out of each, I'm not sure if you can record the MIDI out or route it live, didn't really try. It's solo/mute options also didn't seem to work the way I thought they should. Seems to pipe all the audio out the chords plugin, rather than each plugin having it's own sound when using the generated MIDI (but not when you feed it MIDI).

There is only a tiny getting started PDF that comes with the download for help. Just like CC you use the chords plugin to put together your progression. No VST2 versions (I wonder if they didn't get a VST2 license?).

You enter your serial number in one and it auths the whole package. Purchasing it was simple, uses a serial number to auth. I'll post more when I've had a chance to try it. I'd recommend trying the demo version though, they don't have the best track record.

If they aren't adding VAT to it for EU customers that would mean US customers are overpaying (my pet peeve). It's not clear if the 99 euro offer includes VAT, since they don't take anything off when you order. I was waiting for the coupon or a discount at dealers to show up. They sent out a coupon for the new suite to subscribers to their newsletter today: ORBREWARD takes the price from 99 euro to 79 euro. These plugin versions look interesting because they may avoid a bunch of those issues.

I have Orb Composer and like but also hate, it's very interesting but is hampered by some really bad software design. Hexacord has released what looks like a plugin version of their Orb Composer product, Orb Producer Suite
