Hi everyone,
I've recently got the Artiphon Chorda and got a bit lost trying to navigate through the sounds using only the device. So, I've sat down and listed the presets (guided by the app) to help anyone else trying to backtrack and find that great sound they heard.
This list just shows the order of presets as I found them. These presets aren't usually in a coherent order, not alphabetical or thematic, and even similar names (eg. Millenium) sit in different places. Some of the names don't clearly indicate the feel or style, so just pick your favourite sounds and use that as a guide.
The reference lists below help you navigate if you're not plugged into the app. To shift to another instrument, press A then an instrument pad (1-4). The strum pad then lights up. On the strum pad, ^ (green lights) takes you further along the presets and v (red lights) takes you the other way. The keypad will light up to show you how many steps forward/back if you tap a number of times.
You're simply counting steps. For example, if you start in LEAD(4) on Marimba, then A+4+^ sends you to Minimax, and A+4+v sends you to Lofi Plucks. Starting again from Marimba, A+4+^^^ sends you to Bossa Horns, and A+4+vvvvvv sends you to Grand Piano.
I haven't explored this further, but if you switch sounds via the app, it seems that the new sound will just fit into the list. So if I'm on Marimba and I switch to Chorda Lead, the order doesn't reset and the neighbours to Marimba (Lofi Plucks/Minimax) are still the next door options (not Cartridge/Clavi Wonder). I don't know how much using the app will mix up the list as I've found it.
I hope this helps - add your comments to tell us how you go.
Cheers,
Peachey
