Details surrounding Tame Impala’s synth brand Telepathic Instruments are still pretty vague, but we do officially have the name of its first product – the Orchid.

Kevin Parker, the man behind Tame Impala, launched the company back in June this year, keeping details super limited. He then gave another teaser in August by sharing an Instagram video of him playing what we now know to be the Orchid.

Telepathic Instruments has teased the launch in a brand new (and very short, 21-second) video that plays a snippet of its sound.  The video declares that the product is “for chords”, and an accompanying email says that “Orchid is a new kind of instrument that helps songwriters and musicians find what’s on their mind.”

Take a closer look below:

No specifications or information on its official launch and pricing have yet been shared, though you can sign up to a mailing list to be informed of any new details. From the glimpse we get in the new video, we can see a keyboard, a small display screen, plus a range of dials. These include bass, loop, BPM, options, and volume on the right side, plus controls for sound, perform, FX, and Key on the left.

There’s also two jog wheels on the left side, and though the text is a little blurry, it looks as though these control voicing. There’s also eight buttons, which seem to allow users to select between major, minor, or other types of chords.

MusicTech will share more details on Orchid as soon as we have them. In the meantime, you can sign up for email alerts over at Telepathic Instruments.
