AlphaTheta ChordCat Groovebox

The Alphatheta ChordCat Groovebox is designed for the DJ, producer or beatmaker who is always on the go and wants to get that beat idea down and fast.

Superb chords

The Chordcat harnesses your creativity without you needing to truly understand how chord structure works thanks to the 18 chord presets known as Chordsets. Thirteen are genre-based, while the remaining five cover essential chord types like major and minor. All of these allow you to focus on the main part of the process, music creation.

Sculpt your musical creation

ChordCat features three built-in effects to enhance your music with motion and depth. The Arpeggiator transforms static chords into flowing melodies. Delay introduces echoes and spatial width. The Ducker creates rhythmic pumping effects by shaping volume in response to other sounds. All three are controlled using a responsive XY pad, which makes shaping your effects feel hands-on and musical.

You can further tweak sounds using the low-pass filter to remove high-end content, and the amp envelope to shape the attack, sustain and decay of each sound. These tools help refine your presets and add a more personal touch to your tracks.

Making Sequences

The Chordcat allows for a clean and simple workflow for sequencing your beats with eight separate tracks, it allows for incredible layering to generate full complete songs.

The step-sequencer spans 128 steps, arranged as 8 pages of 16 steps, giving you room to develop ideas across 8 full bars. Each step can be edited for precision timing, creating tight, polished patterns.

Intergration

Chordcat perfectly sits within your workflow, thanks to the USB-C socket, that allows for integration within your DAW such as ableton with Chordcat Manager allowing for exporting of patterns
