Chord Cruiser Mode
  • 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.
Built-In Effects
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.
Running Direction
  • Change the playback direction of 4x4 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.
Sound Presets and Drum Kits
  • Designed for a wide range of genres, you can spark fresh ideas during the creative process by switching between 145 sound presets and 16 drum kits.
  • Tune your sound presets however you like them using the low-pass filter and amp envelope. These parameters can be automated for each pattern, allowing you to dynamically change the tone and the chord progression. This allows you to create lively phrases. 
Key and Scale Settings
  • 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.
Extensive Workspace
  • 8 tracks: Play up to 8 different instruments or sounds at once, such as drums, bass, and synths, with independent control for each track. You can adjust track volume, and pan to balance the left and right audio channels.
  • 16 patterns: Create and save up to 16 unique phrases per track and build dynamic song arrangements. You can also use the Pattern Chain feature to play patterns in a designated sequence for seamless transitions.
  • 128 steps (8 bars): Arrange sounds precisely within a 16-step (1 bar) x 8-page configuration, which enables detailed sequencing and timing for your compositions.
Versatile Connectivity
  • It’s easy to integrate Chordcat with external synthesizers and DAW software on PC/Mac computers thanks to its MIDI Out/Thru, MIDI IN, and USB-C ports.
  • Use Chord Play and Chord Cruiser modes to control and perform effortlessly with your connected devices.
Enhanced DAW Integration
  • Seamlessly import and export sequence patterns between Chordcat and your PC/Mac using the dedicated Chordcat Manager software.
