Chord Cruiser Mode: Easily Make Unique Chord Progressions

ChordCat can suggest 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.

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

With the Running Direction feature, you can change the playback direction of 4×4 step-sequenced patterns by pressing a single button. Choose from 4 playback directions – 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, pushing the boundaries of your compositions.

Key and Scale Settings

Play with complete creative freedom and never hit a wrong note. 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. For example, setting the key to E and the scale to minor blues will arrange the notes of the E minor blues scale on the keyboard so you can improvise however you feel, knowing that any note you hit will blend in harmony with your melody.

The compatibility of chords suggested in Chord Play mode or Chord Cruiser mode and the selected key and scale is visually indicated via LED lights. This helps both beginners and professional musicians, enabling efficient and creative music production.
