After the first Orchid synth sold out in minutes, Telepathic Instruments, which was co-founded by Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, has announced Orchid Drop 2. The hardware chord generator and songwriting tool created by Parker and the team at Telepathic Instruments will go live on May 29 and make 3,000 new units available. Pricing for Drop 2 remains at $549 USD, though tariffs (ruh roh!) may apply for customers in the United States.

Telepathic Instruments has also launched Telepathic Studios, a creative space where artists are invited to explore their own songwriting process with Orchid. Visit Telepathic’s official website for more information on the upcoming drop of...Drop 2.
