Orbs - Silent (?) Update
Just added a style picker for ORBS, which basically allows you to choose from two different sets of instruments. Also increased the performance slightly, but not by much. FYI it can be really laggy in the editor, but once you submit into a gallery or just on a blog to preview, it's not so bad. I was reading this interesting article about browser performances on OS X/XP, and apparently Flash player runs about 6 times faster on a XP machine.
As a Mac user, I was shocked to hear this, but at the same time, I guess it makes Mac a good machine for testing and development. If a flash file runs fine on my Mac machine then I can assume that it'll run even better on most XP machines... at least in theory.
Anyhow, thanks to everyone who's contributed to Orbs gallery so far. We will be making more soundtoys in the future where you can create and share your creation!

Hi.
Wonderful thing.
Love the intuitive nature of this thing. Its so fun to pick a tone and find the song that goes with it. The performance suffers from a goofy lag on my XP machine though. I can handle it. I wish there were more tones and sounds and samples to choose from. Like a revolver of bass drum tones. I want a full fledged program with spiraling clocks like springs to replace the repeating and infinite circle clock. Maybe not in flash, but somehow, a visual music making program with all the samples the universe has to offer. I stumbled upon it today and I love it.
Thank you,
Jonathan
