AlphaTheta CHORDCAT 8-Track Groovebox Controller

Overview

Chord Cruiser Mode:Easily make unique chord progressions
Chordcat can suggest up to 110,000 chord combinations which 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 favourite to the keyboard, triggering the next suggestion automatically. With this intuitive workflow at your fingertips, you can enjoy a simple process for making original tracks. Chordcat also includes 18 preset chord progressions called Chordsets, 13 of which are inspired by various musical genres, such as house and future bass, while the remaining 5 are basic chord presets, such as major and minor. You can use these presets as they are, or as a starting point to spark your own ideas. From there, Chord Cruiser mode gives you the freedom to create entirely unique chord progressions.

Versatile arrangement features and intuitive instrument control
3 built-in effects
Add unique touches to your music with 3 powerful effects – Arpeggiator, Delay, and Ducker – all of which you can manipulate 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 Feature
Break the boundaries of your compositions. With Running Direction, you can 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, enabling you to create innovative chord progressions or explore rhythms across different genres.

Sound Presets and Tone-shaping Tools
Spark fresh ideas during the creative process by switching between 145 sound presets and 16 drum kits designed for a wide range of genres. You can tune your sound presets however you like them using the low-pass filter and amp envelope. These parameters can be automated per pattern, so your sounds can dynamically evolve throughout a track. This enables you to go beyond static presets and build expressive, energetic phrases that bring your music to life.
