Easily make unique chord progressions
Generate up to 110,000 chord combinations that you can use to create your own progressions.
Put the groovebox in Chord Cruiser mode, and an exclusive algorithm selects and suggests multiple musically compatible chords from its database. You can listen to these chords and assign your favorite to a keyboard, triggering the next suggestion automatically.
With this intuitive workflow at your fingertips, you can enjoy a simple process to create original tracks.
Versatile arrangement features and intuitive instrument control
Manipulate 3 built-in effects intuitively using the XY pad:
- Arpeggiator: Creates melodies from chords.
- Delay: Adds depth to sounds and spatial dimension to your music.
- Ducker: Adds dynamics and emphasis, creating a sense of movement in your tracks.
Change the playback direction of 4×4 step-sequenced patterns by pressing a single button.
Choose from 4 options — right, down, clockwise, and counterclockwise — to discover new phrases and rhythms. This feature unlocks new ideas, so you can create innovative chord progressions or explore rhythms across different genres.
When you set a key and scale on Chordcat, only the notes that belong to the selected key and scale are mapped to the keyboard.
The compatibility of chords suggested in Chord Play mode or Chord Cruiser mode and the selected key and scale are indicated by LED lights; perfect for beginners and professional musicians.
The flat design without knobs or protrusions makes it easy to slip Chordcat into a small bag.
You can take it anywhere and create music whenever inspiration strikes – in the studio, at home, or on the go – thanks to the compact and lightweight construction.
Chordcat runs on 6 AA batteries so you can make music anywhere. The groovebox also supports USB Type-C power for extended sessions when connected to a PC/Mac.
With Chordcat, you can instantly capture and develop your ideas without missing a beat.
