Orchid: retro-styled chord organ built for quick songwriting

The Verge tests Telepathic Instruments Orchid, a $649 digital chord organ designed with Kevin Parker that blends vintage organ vibes with VA/FM/reed-synth engines, built-in drums, a looper, and a $99 Pistil patch designer; it's easy to use and songwriter-friendly, but limited by a small keyboard, basic on-board sound tweaks, and the need for extra software for custom patches, making it a charming but pricey tool rather than a tinkering synth.
