Artiphon is a Nashville, Tennessee-based musical instrument company founded in 2011 by Mike Butera, with co-founder Jacob Gordon. The company designs what it calls "smart instruments" — hybrid digital/hardware devices aimed at lowering the barrier to music-making for beginners while offering expressive controllers for producers and performers.

Its first product, the Instrument 1, is a multi-instrument MIDI controller that can be played like a guitar, violin, piano, or drum pad depending on how it is held. The company followed up with the Orba, a palm-sized synth, looper, and MIDI controller that responds to touch, taps, tilts, and shakes, and the Chorda, a larger device that combines Orba's gesture-based pads with a strummable neck-style surface. The Orba 3 added onboard sampling via a built-in microphone.

Artiphon's instruments have found a niche at the intersection of music tech and creative tools, often marketed alongside traditional retailers like Guitar Center and Sweetwater. The brand has been associated with a range of artists across pop, hip-hop, and experimental music, and its products have been covered in outlets like TechCrunch and Gearspace.

Artiphon has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including MIDI Pad Controllers, Synthesizers, and MIDI Keyboard Controllers. Their gear is featured by 2 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic and Hip Hop. Notable users include Giorgia Angiuli and Sarah, The !llstrumentalist.
