Navigating the Options Menu: A Complete OverviewUpdated 14 days ago

The Options Menu (accessed via the Options Dial) is the control center for customizing your Orchid's behavior. Here are some of the key settings you'll find:

  • View: Change what's shown on the display. Choose from a simple chord name, a visual keyboard, or the popular "Geek Out" mode which shows the chord, notes, and keyboard all at once.

  • Audio Output: Control where the sound goes when you plug in headphones (Auto, Headphones only, Speakers only, or Both).

  • Playstyle: (See this article) Tailor how the chord buttons respond.

  • Velocity Sense: Turn keyboard velocity sensitivity ON or OFF. Note: Not all preset sounds are currently velocity-sensitive.

  • Extension Addition: Decide if adding an extension (like M7 or 9) adds just the new note or retriggers the entire chord. 

  • Upgrade Firmware: Access the firmware update mode.


As new firmware gets released, more and more user customisable options will be added.
