Jemaine Clement Helps Matt Berry Learn How to Play the Orchid Chord-Generating Synthesizer
Matt Berry, with the help of narrator Jemaine Clement, learned how to play the Orchid by Telepathic Instruments, a tabletop digital synthesizer that generates chords with the simple press of a button or two. This innovative piece of equipment utilizes voice and music-driven AI to offer the user a wide range of chord options.
Simply select one of the four chord type options-Major, Minor, Suspended, and Diminished-and the note of your choice. Orchid's four Chord Extension buttons allow for additional harmonic complexity and colour. The available extensions are a 6th, a minor 7th, a Major 7th, and also a 9th. Other secret chords may also be available.
The Orchid also features a bespoke Voicing Dial", which allows for more fluidity between tones and chords.
It allows you to move fluidly up and down the keyboard, one note at a time, causing a continuous cascade of chord voicing inversions, dramatically altering a chord's tonal character.
