What this machine does
PS-ORB is a steerable orbit sequencer: eight notes circle at different speeds and strike an FM-synthesized bell each time they pass the line, weaving endless polyrhythms. Drag a planet to shift when it chimes, tune each ring's note and speed, mute rings with a click — and once per cycle, everything realigns.
Panel notes
- 01Eight orbiting notes strike FM bells (or glass, or pluck) as they cross the line
- 02Drag any planet around its orbit to shift when it chimes
- 03Tune every ring: its note (scale steps) and its speed (×1–×8 laps per cycle)
- 04Click a ring to mute it; scale-locked so it always sounds right
- 05Adjustable cycle length, and a reset that restores the classic aligned cascade
