Artiphon Chorda (Blue) – Portable Synth, Looper & MPE MIDI Controller

Make music anywhere—no desk, laptop or cables required. Artiphon Chorda is a pocketable synth + looper + MPE MIDI controller you can strum like a guitar, tap like a keyboard, or shake for effects. Four performance modes—Drum, Bass, Chord, Lead—and a built-in looper let you build full tracks in minutes. When you’re ready to produce, connect via USB-C or Bluetooth® MIDI (MPE) and control your favourite DAWs and iOS/Android apps. A built-in speaker and rechargeable battery mean you can sketch ideas literally anywhere.

Why Musicians Like It

• Instant ideas: strum one-finger chords, tap beats, then overdub bass and leads—you’ll have a loop in minutes

• Real expression: MPE, aftertouch and motion gestures make soft synths feel alive

• Grows with you: start standalone; later use it as a serious MPE controller in your studio rig

Note: Like any compact groove instrument, the best results come from pairing Chorda with the companion app and your DAW to unlock deeper editing and a wider sound library.
