Easily make unique chord progressions with Chird 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.
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.
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 as well as the chord progression. This allows you to create lively phrases.
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.
