Timbre Dock is an unofficial iOS companion app that controls an Artiphon Orba 2 over USB or Bluetooth MIDI.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

The app uses USB as its recommended path between an iPhone and Orba 2, while also supporting Bluetooth MIDI. Its controls are organized around four instrument parts—Lead, Chord, Bass, and Drum—with separate presets and octave ranges, plus a shared key-and-scale setting. The page also describes importing or recording samples and saving loops with names and cover images. Screenshots are identified as simulator views without a live Orba 2 connection.
