About
A compact chord synth that turns music theory into muscle memory. The Orchid ORC—1 is a digital, polyphonic instrument built around a smart chord logic engine and thoughtful voice-leading, so complex harmony feels natural under your fingers. Design-wise, it’s clean and purposeful. A single-octave, velocity‑sensitive keyboard sets the root.
Above it, dedicated Chord Type and Modifier buttons let you dial in Major, Minor, Suspended, or Diminished with tasteful extensions like 6th, minor 7th, Major 7th, and 9. The patent‑pending Voicing Dials are the star: twist to glide through inversions one note at a time, reshaping tone without breaking flow. Nine rotary encoders manage sound design, styles, and effects, with real‑time phrase recording and looping across 20 pre‑programmed drum beats. Integrated stereo speakers make it truly grab‑and‑go.
It’s approachable, yet deep enough for creators who care about arrangement and feel.
