My Chorda arrived yesterday, and I’ve been able to play with it a little. So far, I love it! Will take some getting used to, but not long. Pretty logical.
I've seen this advertised multiple times on my facebook, I ABSOLUTELY want one! Played piaco since age 7, play by ear a LOT.... this would absolutely be a great expansion for my music!
Great tips - thanks for sharing !
Looking good! Thanks for adding quantization.
For you, anything.
I seriously can't wait til mine arrives. My december vacation is gonna be so much fun!
Just got my Chorda today. LOVE IT!! (And now I really regret not getting an Orba, too...)
one arrived on my doorstep yesterday as a complete surprise. I look forward to tinkering around with it.
Waiting for a second run; the pioneers take the arrows... But I SO want this.
This the second run
Looking great, excited to get mine! Would love to see you add the ability to delete just the part you most recently recorded, not the entire mode. On Orba I would often layer multiple drum loops on top of each other and then mess up on my last one and then have to start drums completely over.
+1
Great suggestion!
Been enjoying my Orba 2 and can't wait to receive my Chorda. I hope the app gets some tlc.
-too many taps to reconnect device
-would be really nice to have the option to auto connect to last device
-songs/presets could really use a preview (especially with so many to choose from!)
-options for different scale types
-would be nice to be able to filter out stems from song list
-being able to upload/browse user created presets would be really exciting
-swapping between a few loaded presets without having to open the app would be great too
Thank you so much for sharing these great suggestions!
Sweet. Ordered mine, but needs more control to work in a pro environment.
Add detailed chord and scale customization to the connect app… or make a different app. Whatever. Also a way to strum without triggering the initial note. I’m really hoping this happens as I’m in a gigging band and this could be a really powerful addition if the suggested functionality is added.
Till this functionality is added, it’s too limiting for pro workflow.
Questions
1. Does chorda have a built in mic for sampling?
2. When connected via usb can I send audio from my laptop or iOS device through the chorda headphone jack?
3. Can I sync the internal sequencer to external tempo via use and/or Bluetooth?
4. What are the holes in the end for (I assume a strap but find no mention anywhere)?
Whaouu :)
I just got mine a week or so ago and I'm enjoying it. I was gonna ask if anyone had any bets on how long it'll be before those mount hole plugs on either side fall out and get lost - I keep having to push mine back in -- but I see the one in this video is missing its little plugs already, so all bets are off!
I've found that the bridge is played better with finger tips than pads to get individual notes. That is taking some getting used to, but I think I'll get there.
Please do a video on steam songs/pre-sets. Thanks!
This is a good call.
very cool. for loading samples -- can you record audio directly onto it or do you need to hook up to a DAW and/or a mic?
You can record or upload directly into the Artiphon Connect app.
Looks cool. Might even be useful as well as fun. But as everyone says, there should be more scale options. That is if they want to avoid returns. This is pretty obvious, and I'm pretty sure if these folks were inclined to listen to anyone at all, we will see it.
Excellent video. The manual is pretty sparse, and this filled in a lot of gaps for me. 👍
Good video! Tries to explain, not just look cool. Do all the keys play sounds, or are some only for selecting etc? Pity about the pentatonic scale for lead. Makes everything sound like Old McDonald. Should have a diatonic option for every instrument sound. Will this happen? I'm looking forward to playing chords with realistic string sounds.
Thanks for the feedback! All 12 pads trigger sounds. There is a diatonic lead preset, but I'm happy to pass your feedback about sounds along to the rest of the team.
Where/what can I get a guitar strap for this?🤔
Nice. It would be better if Chorda, Instrument 1 and Orba can be interconnected and can be played as a single instrument.
Interesting suggestion! Can you explain more specifically what you want to do by connecting the instruments?
@@Artiphon Three people could jam together and it could all be easily transferred to a DAW.
Lol and have cables all over the place that keep you connected to each other? Lmfao think about it
My orba suffered a corrupt sound file which rendered that key spot useless. No resolution for the issue. Glad I was still in the 30 day grace period.
It is nice ---- but I wish you develop an in-house midi track --- for may be 3 to 5 minutes to record the MIDI notes. I have been using Staff Notion and it does render these notes well.
Hey there, on Chorda you will be able to record loops up to 128 bars (or 5 minutes long). You can also connect Chorda to MIDI software (like PreSonus Notion), which can record Chorda's output for as long as you'd like.
Why do u have ads, in what is essentially an advertisement?
It's a tutorial
Any updates for KS backers? I'm getting jealous watching everyone play with theirs...
Chordas are in mass production and are looking great! Keep an eye out on Kickstarter for more specifics about shipping.
If 'website preorders are being shipped in December', would it be too much to ask when KS backer rewards are to be delivered? A KS message would be the least at this point as the origional shipping date has already expired without an update...
Hey there, Chordas are still on track to ship in November, and we're narrowing down to the second half of this month. Please see our most recent update on Kickstarter, and keep an eye out there for more specifics coming soon.
Still waiting ;) If I order online will it ship quicker?@@Artiphon
@@Artiphon Lies. Still no Chorda for a LOT of the KS backers. We gave you our money in good faith. Do the same
@@TrophyFish Hey there, if you're looking for an update on your pledge status, please contact us at support@artiphon.com.
Did I miss - How do you change patches - like, once you're in bass mode, how do you get different bass sounds?
You can choose from a bunch of different bass presets in the Artiphon Connect app. Visit the "Presets" tab and then select Bass mode,and they'll all be listed below.
Beyond the diatonic and pentatonic scaled notes in bass and lead modes, can accidentals (flats/sharps) be accessed via ‘tilt’ or some other means?
Yes! You can do this using the Tilt Lead preset.
So these scales are locked behind presets?! You should be able to adjust scale type
I almost bought one, but realized my MPK mini does the exact same things.
Are you monetizing this video? Why are are there so so SO MANY ADS??!!
That's cool and all, but could you play clone hero with it?
9:30 How? I can not find an option anywhere on the app to change the key. The only way I can change the sound is the options for midi mode or pitch bend scale, even though I hear no difference with those options. I bought this because the advertising said I can play it as a guitar. How can I do that when I have to spend time searching for next the right key to play? This is not making any sense. I really wish there was an in-depth tutorial on the app and the instrument. I thought this instrument was supposed to make learning how to make music easier? Well, I'm only experiencing frustration.
Also, why are there no Bluetooth settings so I can connect to other apps like Garageband?
its automaticly connecting..like the orba too (u have to look in gb for connecting first of course
I'm a little on the fence. It's an amazing instrument, but the scale constraints is creatively limiting for me. I have an Orba, and having my lead be pentatonic-only without the ability to more finely tweak holds me back from using it more despite loving the concept of it. I might go for it anyway, but I feel like letting your users have that freedom, if they wanted--as in, something they could edit in an app/software--would be such a huge boost to the Chorda. It would take it more from really cool noodling to more intentional production for me.
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. We appreciate it. I'm happy to pass this along to the rest of the Artiphon team. In the meantime, I recommend taking the Diatonic Lead preset for a spin if you haven't already.
THIS. Needs to be added asap.
@@Artiphon what diatonic lead? nothing in the manual suggests that from what i can find
@@woofmaker2004 There is a preset in the Artiphon Connect app called Diatonic Lead!
I have the artiphon instrument 1. It is a vastly superior midi controller compared to Chorda and Artiphon would do well to make a second improved model instead of making musical toys.
Does Chorda have six sensitivities for each pad, like the guitar and instrument 1 has six strings for each fret?
No, it doesn’t work like that. It does other fun things though - strumming the bridge gives a guitar-like feel and allows you to get all sorts of beautiful patterns. There are so many great MIDI guitars out there now - this isn’t one of them.
Thank you:)
Could this device input to music notation software without glitches?
Yes, this would work quite well. What software do you use? Maybe we should make a video.
@@Artiphon For a long time I have been searching for a video as such. Any notation would be ok to try like Sibelius, Finale, Musescore etc....
Can I connect this instrument to the ( standalone ) Maschine Plus?
Yes! Check out this video for how to connect Orba to hardware synths. 😄
ua-cam.com/video/tF9RIBNT8Kc/v-deo.html&pp=ygUhY29ubmVjdCBvcmJhIDIgdG8gaGFyZHdhcmUgc3ludGhz
This does not look like a good replacement for Instrument 1 as it cannot be played like a stringed instrument. Why did you discontinue Insrument 1? Did it suck so badly that an upgraded version was not possible?
Can Chorda be used with the DAW Reaper?
Yes!
Can you connect 2 Chordas together and midi sync them?
Hey there, you cannot Chordas to each other at this time.
Please add it to the feature list! I have 2 and it would be awesome to midi sync them. I wish it had a midi port
@@Artiphon
Will we ever get a product where we can pause/stop the recording and then continue recording?
I dont know if im wording that correctly, what im asking is can i record 4 bars of drums, go over and do 4 bars of chords or leads and then go back and lay down another 4 bars of drum to succeed the previous 4 bars?
Instead of having to record all in one take?
Hi Brenden, yes! You can layer as many layers of each mode as you'd like. We find that this especially helps when wanting to create more complex loops.
@Artiphon Do you guys have a video demonstrating that?
I have an Orba 2 and don't think it's possible with that
@Artiphon to be more precise, what I meant was, if I wanted a 3 minute baseline, I have to record that at once, I can do 1 minute, add the drums for that 1 minute and the finish the next 2 minutes of the bass afterwords.
Once I stop recording you can't start again except for building on what was recorded.
@@brendenirwin1237 Ah thank you for clarifying. The length of the first layer sets the length for all of the next layers. You won't be able to sequence different sections of a loop one after the other.
If you're eager to do this, you could try recording into a DAW, like GarageBand, rather than just on Orba itself.
Okay, now that I've been playing, the preset Bass sound decided to disappear for some unknown reason. No matter how many times I reset the Chorda or the app. Nothing fixes the issue. What am I supposed to do to fix it? Wth?
Why is there no troubleshooting for this?
Ok, I was able to use the app on my computer, and it turns out that somehow, the Bass got muted while I was messing with the record feature. So, I have no clue how I did that, but I was able to fix it through the app. Wish I knew how the mistake got made so I could avoid it next time. It's just too bad there's no troubleshooting for the Chorda, which actually sucks.
why don't you edit your first post, as presently this is click bait, IYKWIM.
Would love to use mine, but the backers that made this happen are the last to get them aparently. Artiphon has gone silent on us when it comes to shipping and some of those who got theirs are complaining about defects. Come on Artiphon, do the right thing.
How do you turn off the metronome?
You can turn off the metronome by connecting Chorda to the Artiphon Connect app. Click the drop-down menu in the top left of the Play tab. Click Tempo. In that menu, you can toggle it on and off with the metronome icon in the upper right-hand corner.
You killed the instrument 1... for this?
Is this just a cheap version of the Roli Block??
UPDATE
I took a quick peak and from what I can find the seaboard block is solely a midi controller for about $100 more than the chorda. It looks cool, and is probably great for anyone that only wants a controller with no automatic chord, sequencer, scale, or motion control, or Internal sounds. I guess most of the functionality of the chorda is not possible for the seaboard block.
So NO I would not say the chorda is a cheap version of the seaboard block, because the chorda does waaaaaaaaaaay more.
……………
I’m not familiar with the roll block. Does it connect via usb and BT? Does it have a speaker? Does it have a headphone jack? Does it have internal synthesis? Can it play back samples from internal memory? Can you change scales from the block? Does it have an internal 4 part sequencer. Does it do gesture control? Does it have an internal arpeggiator?
If the roli block does all that, and it’s MORE expensive than the chorda, then yes I’d say the chorda is a less expensive version of the roli block.
I wouldn’t say it’s cheap though, in price or quality. I mean I don’t have one yet, but I’ve got had an Orba for over a yeah. I play it regularly and it’s been solid. Doesn’t seem “cheap”.
Soooo... it's a rectangular orba?
Chorda has the same synth and sample playback engine as Orba 2 with more, new features!
Is this MPE
Yes!
any possibility to turn off the metronome?
Yes, you can turn off the metronome in the Artiphon Connect app.
- Connect your Chorda to the app
- Press the preset name at the top of the Play screen
- Press "Tempo"
- Toggle the metronome on and off my pressing the metronome icon in the upper righthand corner of the "Edit Tempo" menu
@@Artiphon thanks... And without to be connected to the app? ... Btw really good Job ..Well and Solid builded. The orba allready was very beloved to the kids on my audioworkshops... This Thing IS even more inspirational.. Thanks for this❤️
Could this be a midi controller
It is!
Which DAW's can be used?
@@timruf7548 Any DAW that accepts MIDI data like GarageBand, BandLab, FL Studio, and many, many more.
I can’t take this serious as a modern instrument. Being digital chromatic should be default with diatonic being a customizable feature as well as the assignment of notes to keys. For any serious music producer this makes it seem like a novelty. Or an overpriced super limited MIDI keyboard.
I would focus solely on the live playing experience. Bring in a modern age of musical instrumentation.
The ability to add my own sample libraries would also be cool.
Hey there, we totally hear you. In the meantime, we do have a Diatonic Lead preset available in the Artiphon Connect app. You also can upload your own samples to Chorda to pitched across all 12 pads in the melodic modes or assign unique samples to each of the pads in Drum mode.
It's a shame that Artiphon botched the Kickstarter campaign so badly. I'm still waiting for mine, along with hundreds (thousands?) of other backers, while Artiphon shipped units to retailers more than a month ago. It's sadly a company you should never trust with your money.
Couldn't agree more.
Artiphon dropped the ball and just ignores any question the backers have. Total BS!!
12 step sequencer... wow. Repetition, repetition!
Stan's dad is actually Lorde
А русских совсем тут нет что ли? Не интересует?
Artiphon?? Yoohoo??!
Why do you only reply to positive reviews? Hiw about dealing with the Kickstater backers that have been left in dark. How about some answers. There sure is a lot of pissed off backers. Shame on you.
Hi Markus, I see that one of our Community Specialists has gotten back to your email with your tracking information. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out.
So instead of making a second and improved version of instrument one you made this toy instead. How sad.
It's a different machine smh
Will this satisfy my urge to make random sounds hoping to make a melody while completely plastered on single malt scotch while smoking a cigar tho ….
