We love creating instruments that encourage and inspire people to make music in ways they haven't before!! Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear that your family is loving Chorda too.

Thanks! FWIW, I've played guitar for years, but only pluck around on keys. I want a piece of hardware that feels like a fretboard to compose and send MIDI, and that is portable. Instrument 1 and Chorda would seem to fit those needs.

Thanks

[@Tiger.Arcade]

Thanks for your support!

Imagine your orba 2 synthesizer through an line 6 Pod express effects pedal ☄️

[@Tiger.Arcade]

I’m gonna try it through a chroma console here this week. 🤌

Enjoyed the review!
i’m interested in the Chorda, but the reviews are pretty weak from users on Sweetwater. Do you have any concerns about overall quality?

[@Tiger.Arcade]

Thanks!
I intentionally avoided reviews to not make mine bias. In reference to your question, I don’t have any concerns with build quality.

Very interesting product, just wish it was way cheaper

[@AndyTanguay]

I had a first gen Artiphon and it was having issues, and was out of warranty. Artiphon offered no way to even pay to fix it. Basically they told me to throw it away. Done with them.

No mini jack MIDI, at that price, is absurd. Seems really disappointing as the thing I would use it as, which is as a MIDI controller.

[@Tiger.Arcade]

The midi out is via usb c or Bluetooth. But yeah, I’d want midi 3.5 at least.

Others don't get put off, but I'm always going to nope out of any product that requires an app to be used to its full potential.

[@Tiger.Arcade]

The only thing I’ve seen the app do is allow you to adjust reverb and delay and individual volume tracks. Oh and download more music packs. It just mostly helps you navigate faster. As far as I’m aware.

[@dominicdit]

agreed... not interested in apps at all, but it is only a matter of time until the app stops being supported. instruments used to last forever, an app makes it so it lasts 5, 10 years??? not worth it. Also, these companies do not get to have permission to access my devices files.
250 dollars for something you can do in a DAW with the midi controller you have already, GAS
