Smart Musical Instrument

July 23, 2023

Chorda is a new type of all-in-one musical instrument that is a smart synth, looper, and MIDI controller. You can tap or press Chorda like a keyboard or drum machine or pick it up and strum it like a guitar. Chorda is highly responsive, with feather-sensitive capacitive touch sensors that can pick up the slightest movements. Chorda’s 12 pads are the same width as piano keys and can respond to the intensity of your finger movements in multiple dimensions. Chorda also has a bridge that lets you strum any sound. Chorda has four playing modes: Drum, Bass, Chord, and Lead. The built-in looper lets you record multiple parts, each up to 5 minutes long. Chorda features multi-colored LEDs, accelerometer, gyroscope, embedded haptic engine, Bluetooth LE, and a speaker. Chorda features an audio engine that plays any sound using synthesizers and real-world audio samples. You can make Chorda sound like a guitar, piano, orchestra, vocals, and more. There are over 100 presets available in the app. You can also capture or import your own sounds to create unique instruments. Chorda represents the future of musical instruments that are easy to play and adaptible.
