In development for over a decade, Parkers new invention The Orchid will fit right in with the sounds Tame Impala fans have come to love, and if they so choose, help them create their very own creations, with Parker’s subtle help always in the background.
The compact, 13 key synthesizer is set to be released via Parker’s Telepathic Instruments, with a limited first-edition run available to purchase in December for $549.
According to Telepathic Instruments, “The Orchid is an advanced chord generating hardware synthesizer developed for songwriters, producers and musicians to expand the possibilities of songwriting and musical exploration. Using the synth’s unique chord logic system, users can craft seemingly endless variations of chords with ease and precision, together with its unprecedented chord voicing system that pitches and positions chords at the turn of a single dial.”
