Selecting Colors for the Pads
You can select the color of the light for each pad in each bank, allowing you to color-code your pads or banks
to distinguish between their different functions in your software.
To select a color for a pad:
1. Press and hold down any Pad Bank Selector, and then press either shoulder button. The Virtual Knob
Selectors will flash to indicate Orbit is in Color Selection Mode (and is not currently controlling the
software). Release all buttons.
2. Use the Pad Bank Selectors to select a bank, and then press the pad whose color you want to select.
(You can select multiple pads simultaneously. Press a selected pad to de-select it.)
3. Use the shoulder buttons to cycle through the different available colors, which will be shown in the
selected pads.
4. Press and hold down any Pad Bank Selector, and then press either shoulder button. The Virtual Knob
Selectors will stop flashing, and Orbit's new pad color settings will be saved.
Orbit's memory is non-volatile, which means it will retain your color settings even after you power Orbit off.

Wireless Usage

You can use Orbit as a "wired" controller by connecting it to your computer's USB port with the mini-USB
cable. To take advantage of its wireless possibilities, though, please read this section.

Pairing Orbit to the Wireless USB Receiver

Follow these steps if the wireless USB receiver's light remains unlit even when it is connected to your
computer:
1. Make sure Orbit is off and the wireless USB receiver is not connected to a computer.
2. Press and hold down Pad Bank Selector 4, and then power Orbit on.
3. Press the pad closest to Virtual Knob Selector K4 (the pad labeled "a" in the diagram on the previous
page). Virtual Knob Selector K1 will flash.
4. Connect the wireless USB receiver to your computer. Virtual Knob Selector K2 will flash.
5. Press the upper-right-most pad (the pad labeled "b" in the diagram on the previous page). Virtual Knob
Selector K4 will light up to indicate Orbit is paired to the wireless USB receiver.
Wireless vs. Wired Performance
To change from wireless performance to "wired":
1. Disconnect the wireless USB receiver from your computer. (You can do this without closing your
software or powering Orbit off.)
2. Use the included mini-USB cable to connect Orbit to your computer. Orbit can now control your
software.
To change from "wired" performance to wireless:
1. Disconnect Orbit from your computer. (You can do this without closing your software or powering Orbit
off.)
2. Power Orbit off.
3. Connect the wireless USB receiver to an available USB port on your computer.
4. Power Orbit on. Orbit can now wirelessly control your software.

Tips for Optimal Performance

•
The typical signal range is XXX-XXX feet (XXX-XXX meters) with a clear line of sight. If you experience
signal interference, move Orbit closer to your computer and/or remove any obstacles between them
(walls, furniture, etc.).
•
Turn off your computer's Wi-Fi.
•
If possible, turn off any unnecessary 2.4 GHz devices in the nearby vicinity (e.g., other Wi-Fi devices,
baby monitors, Wi-Fi access points, microwave ovens, etc.).
•
Wireless MIDI can cause some latency. Usually, it is barely detectable, but if you want, you can reduce
it by using Orbit closer to your computer and maintaining a clear line of sight between them. If your
software lets you adjust the buffer size, reducing it can also reduce latency, but make sure to keep your
buffer size high enough to prevent audio glitches.
