AlphaTheta ChordCat: Find Harmony Spark Creativity
Unleash your creativity and transform ideas into music with the AlphaTheta ChordCat, a groundbreaking 8-track portable groovebox designed for producers and musicians seeking instant inspiration and effortless song development. ChordCat isn't just a groovebox; it's your ultimate tool for unlocking new harmonic possibilities and crafting complete tracks on the go.

At the heart of ChordCat is the revolutionary Chord Cruiser function. This intuitive feature suggests seamless and musically compatible chord transitions from its massive database of up to 110,000 chord combinations. Even without advanced musical knowledge, you can intuitively select recommended chords while playing, building unique progressions effortlessly. ChordCat also includes 18 versatile Chordsets, with 13 genre-inspired presets (like house and future bass) and 5 basic chord presets (major and minor), offering perfect starting points for your creations.

With an 8-track sequencer, ChordCat provides an extensive workspace to record and play back multiple performances. Dive into a rich sonic palette with 145 instrument sounds and 16 drum sounds, giving you the freedom to craft not just chord progressions, but also captivating melodies and rhythms exactly as you envision them.

Key Features:
Versatile Arrangement and Intuitive Instrument Control:
Harness the power of 3 built-in effects – Arpeggiator, Delay, and Ducker – all intuitively controllable via the XY pad to add unique depth, dynamics, and movement to your music. Explore new rhythmic and melodic ideas with the Running Direction feature, instantly changing the playback direction of your 4x4 step-sequenced patterns in four different ways (right, down, clockwise, counterclockwise).

Dynamic Sound Shaping:
Switch between 145 sound presets and 16 drum kits across various genres to spark fresh ideas. Fine-tune your sounds using the low-pass filter and amp envelope, which can be automated per pattern, allowing your sounds to dynamically evolve throughout a track. With Key and Scale settings, you'll never hit a wrong note; ChordCat maps only the notes belonging to your selected key and scale to the keyboard, enabling seamless improvisation and harmonious compositions.

Extensive Workspace and Seamless Connectivity:
ChordCat offers a flexible workspace with 8 tracks (independent control, volume, pan), 16 patterns (with Pattern Chain for seamless transitions), and 128 steps (8 bars) for detailed sequencing. Expand your creative horizons with versatile connectivity, including MIDI OUT/THRU, MIDI IN, and USB Type-C ports for easy integration with external synthesizers and DAW software on PC/Mac. The Chordcat Manager software simplifies importing/exporting patterns between hardware and DAW, and a free Ableton Live Lite license (with product registration) further enhances your workflow from sketching to full production.

Designed for Portability and Freedom:
ChordCat's flat, compact design without protrusions makes it easy to slip into any bag, so you can create music wherever inspiration strikes – at home, in the studio, or on the go. Power your creativity anywhere with 6 AA batteries or through USB Type-C power for extended sessions when connected to a PC/Mac. With ChordCat, capture and develop your ideas instantly, without missing a beat.
