Pocket AudioHiChord Compact Chord Synthesizer - Aluminum

Pocket Audio HiChord

Find harmony along your musical journey with HiChord from Pocket Audio, a pocketable digital chord synthesizer that fits in the palm of your hand. With its aluminum enclosure, HiChord is built for the rigors of the road ahead. This ultra-portable device uses a unique interface to play chords in a chosen key, letting you intuitively explore harmonic progressions with a single button. Each key plays a different chord in the selected key, while the joystick enables modifications like sevenths and suspensions. Inspired by the Nashville number system for chord charts, HiChord makes it easy to play many types of chords that all work together, avoiding sour nonchord tones entirely.

The synth engine in HiChord is surprisingly robust, with ten oscillators, multiple waveshapes, an LFO, and an envelope controlled filter. Conjure up all sorts of lush tones and even automated rhythmic comping, and save your favorites as a preset for later use. The onboard delay, reverb, tremolo, and glide effects add character to your sounds for the finishing touch. Of course, with its MIDI output, you can also use HiChord to control external polysynths and software instruments. A USB connection makes firmware updates a breeze, and also charges the internal battery. Built to jam anywhere, the output works great with headphones, and the internal speaker lets you play out loud. If you're looking for a way to work with harmony on the go, the Aluminum HiChord from Pocket Audio is a potent chord synth designed to be taken anywhere.
