The Chorda is also mobile and charges its battery via USB, making the instrument a great travel companion.

The different modes of the Artiphon Chorda
The four modes of the Chorda make the instrument more flexible: In drum mode, each pad of the Chorda is assigned to a drum sound. Switching to bass mode transforms the instrument into a monophonic bass. The chord mode is suitable for playing whole chords and the lead mode invites you to play virtuosically on a polyphonic instrument.
