A lot of fun

The MOD Dwarf is a highly flexible audio and midi processing pedal. It is simple to use to set-up normal audio effects chains but a bit more thinking is involved adapting to the midi/cv system. I love that it is now fully open source with all system software free to view and contribute to. Mod Audio is currently working on a desktop version using the same software which will allow the best of both worlds, DAW integration and a portable live system.

Poor and volume sound from speakers

The speakers are so poor in capacity of sound quality and sound that I them on max just listen to the music. I going to have to buy new speakers

Very useful tool

I can see this is going to be able to solve most any MIDI problem I face, but boy, there is a learning curve. Fast delivery and fairly priced, too.

Not much to say, its a great meter

Does everything you need and more

I am happy with Orba 3 I will have to up grade my laptop as what I have is to old. I had a concern with the battery warnings on the outside of the box but after contacting Koala Audio I am OK and I will make sure I will dispose of Orba 3 if I finish with it and I won’t allow it to get too hot in the sun.
