Overview
- Telepathic is releasing a fully transparent Clear Orchid: Arctic limited to 3,000 units for $699, alongside a new $649 run of the standard Orchid.
- The Pistil plugin puts Orchid’s sound engine inside Mac and Windows DAWs for $99 and also lets a computer control the hardware.
- Orchid is a 12‑note chord‑making instrument with a patent‑pending voicing engine, three synth emulators, MIDI out, built‑in speakers, a rechargeable battery, and play modes like Strum, Arpeggiator, Pattern, Slop, and Harp.
- Availability details vary across reports, with coverage citing differing dates for the drop and waitlist access, though waitlisted buyers are set to get first pick.
- Telepathic is supporting the rollout with pop‑ups and demos, a short film called TeleVision, and momentum from about 12,000 units sold, TIME list recognition, and studio use at places like Abbey Road.
