Description
The AlphaTheta CHORDCAT is a compact 8-track groovebox for sketching full songs on a single device. Eight tracks, 16 patterns, and a 128-step (8-bar) sequencer give you room to build arrangements with chords, melodies, drums, and effects without a screen full of menus.
Chord Cruiser
The CHORDCAT's headline feature is Chord Cruiser, an algorithmic chord-suggestion engine that generates up to 110,000 musically compatible chord combinations. Eighteen preset Chordsets spanning multiple genres offer instant starting points. Key and scale settings with LED guides keep your patterns harmonically locked, even without formal music theory knowledge.
Sound Engine & Sequencing
- 145 sound presets and 16 drum kits built in.
- 128-step sequencer (8 bars) across 16 patterns.
- Responsive touch strip for expressive note playing.
- Low-pass filter and amp envelope with per-pattern automation.
- Running Direction: Flip the playback path of any 4×4 step-sequenced pattern.
Effects
Three onboard effects (Arpeggiator, Delay, Ducker) controlled via an XY pad for hands-on sound shaping during performance or production.
Power & Connectivity
- USB-C for power and data.
- Battery: 6 × AA batteries (approximately 5 hours of use).
- MIDI I/O for syncing with external hardware or a DAW.
