Artiphon Chorda Black Synthesizer
Descrizione
Following the Orba and Instrument 1, Artiphon present another unique bit of kit in the form of the Chorda: an MPE-compatible synthesizer, looper, sampler and MIDI controller in one. While hard to define and stick in a box, the Chorda is a brilliant tool for creative music-makers, and a brilliantly portable one at that. If you're always on the lookout for the latest tech-packed gear, this thing is literally made for you.
Features of the Artiphon Chorda
The most important part of this smart synth is its large, multidimensional touch interface, which supports expressive use and comes alongside support for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE). The Chorda can be played like a traditional keyboard, but also as a violin, cello or guitar. There's a motion sensor inside which means that even the angle at which its held is a parameter, and Artiphone have loaded in four sound sections (lead, chord, bass and drums) so you can create humble arrangements on the fly using the integrated looper. More sounds and songs can be added via the Artiphone app.

I have no quibbles with the condition of my B grade, or with the customer service received by Bax Music.
I showed a friend a video of the Chorda in action, and he says that looks cool; so I hand him mine and say "yeah, but I'm not sure about it." He has a play with it for five minutes, he's really impressed, asking how much it was, am I really planning on returning it. So I told him "just wait," and connected the Chorda to my iPad and GarageBand.
He continues to be impressed and asks why I want to return it.
So I turn the Chorda off and show him what I can do on the iPad's touchscreen.
He then says "you don't the Chorda."
If you're a talented musician, who has a PC with a ton of software, you can use the Chorda as an expressive wireless MIDI controller. But, if like myself, you're not a talented musician with a ton of software and experience, then.... it's a fun for five minutes child's toy. A well made child's toy with the headphone socket located in a place where it's going to interfere with how the instrument can be expressed, if you've got headphones plugged in. And you will be plugging headphones in.
Whilst the Chorda does do more than an Orba 2 does, I think perhaps an Orba 2 would have suited me better, as an expressive MIDI controller and maybe I'll get an Orba 2 in the future. For now, I've gone a different route.
If you're new to music, or wanting to learn, then a 25 key keyboard, with knobs and pads is going to be a much better (but not so portable) use of your money; there is plenty of choice of keyboards in the £80-£120 bracket that come with licences for software, such as Ableton Live.
If you're an experienced musician, then the Chorda is a solidly built expressive MIDI controller, with severe musical limitations.
