For someone in your life that likes to make music, this could be just the gift for them. As the website explains:
Orba is a handheld synth, looper, and MIDI controller that lets anyone make music immediately. With Orba’s integrated looper you can layer Drum, Bass, Chord, and Lead parts to create beats and songs on the fly. Play through the built-in speaker or use the ⅛” jack to connect headphones or amplifiers. Pair wirelessly to the Orba app to customize your instrument and share your creations with friends.
I thought it was cool, especially for people who love to be on the go but also love to make music all the time.
