Telepathic Instruments Orchid
CurrentReleased 2024
A chord instrument for songwriters: press a root note on the one-octave keyboard and a chord-type button, and the Orchid plays the full chord with a separate bass voice under it, voiced and spread by its dials. Three digital engines cover virtual analogue, FM and electric piano sounds, with strum and arpeggio modes, a looper, a beat machine and built-in speakers. It runs on its own battery and sends what it plays out over MIDI.
