video upload by CatSynth TV

"We get a tour of the Chordcat. In addition to featuring "cat" in its name, this eight-track groovebox has a large library of chord progressions, and the ability to predict/suggest follow-on chords to your current harmony in a palette from which the composer can then choose. It has built-in sounds as well as the ability to export MIDI to DAWs and other software for further development of compositions.

NAMM 2025: Chordcat Groove Box by AlphaTheta's TORAIZ


video upload by sonicstate

"At the NAMM 2025 show, we spoke to Rin from Chordcat about their latest creation, the *Groove Box*. It allowed you to easily explore chord progressions without needing to play a piano or guitar. Rin demonstrated how you could use the 'cruiser mode' to select chords with just one finger, which made the process accessible even for those lacking music theory knowledge. The groove box supported up to eight tracks, letting you layer drums and bass effortlessly. Rin highlighted its beginner-friendly nature, making it suitable for educational environments and children. The device operated on battery power, making it truly portable and convenient for creating music anywhere.

Sound customization was possible through a library of presets, such as house organs and synth leads. Additionally, the Groove Box came with MIDI output and USB connectivity for DAW integration. Currently, the product was only available in Japan, with hopes of a US release later this year."
