MUSICTONER presents the HiChord Pocket Chord Synthesizer Limited Blue Aluminum. Collect every edition. CNC-machined aluminum chassis with built-in speaker, OLED screen, and USB-C. We release limited-edition colors regularly — past runs include Cosmic Blue, Moon Gray, Black, and Retro Cream. They move fast. Currently shipping: Silver. Press a button. Hear a chord. A piano needs you to find 3 exact notes and press them at the same time. HiChord does it for you. On HiChord, every button already plays a full chord. Just press. Move the joystick to shift the feeling — brighter, darker, jazzier, suspended — without learning a single note name. This is what it sounds like. Over 6,000 HiChords in the wild. Watch real people play. Goes anywhere. Plugs into everything. Built-in speaker, rechargeable battery, aluminum body smaller than most phones. Pick it up from your desk, drop it in your jacket pocket, and make music on the train, in the park, backstage, or in bed. And when you get home, plug it straight into your studio. Sample anything. Sing through chords. HiChord has a built-in microphone that unlocks two features you won't find on any other pocket instrument: Sampler Record any sound — your voice, a glass clinking, a dog barking, a guitar riff — and HiChord turns it into a playable instrument. Press a chord button and your sample plays back at the right pitch, in harmony. You can also upload samples from the Companion App. Vocoder Sing or speak into the mic while holding a chord button — your voice comes out as a harmonized, robotic chord. Think Daft Punk, Bon Iver, or Imogen Heap. It works live with the looper too, so you can layer vocoder tracks into your songs. It keeps going. Beyond chords and looping, HiChord is packed with ways to play, perform, and create. 30+ instruments, instantly Saw, strings, piano, flute, FM electric piano, brass, pads, and more. Hold and press a chord button to quick-select, or browse them all with the joystick. Four synthesis engines — analog waveforms, FM synthesis, real instrument samples, and hybrid layers. New sounds added with firmware updates. Under the hood → 6-voice polyphony, 12 oscillators, 2-op FM engine, sample playback, automatic voice leading, 28 chord types, 10 scales. Drum machine with 56 beat patterns Switch to drum mode and each button triggers a different drum — kick, snare, hi-hat, toms, and more. Choose from 7 kits (808, 909, LinnDrum, Trap, and more). Or pick a pre-made beat pattern across 7 genres and 8 variations each. Beats auto-sync with the looper. 13 play modes Press to switch between modes: Play chords, Strum like a guitar, Lead single-note melodies, Drone sustained textures, Arpeggio auto-patterns, Repeat rhythmic pulses, Sequencer step programming, Drums, Beat Patterns, Chord Hiro rhythm game, Ear Trainer, and more. Effects Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo, Filter, Glide, Stereo, and more. Stack them, tweak them with the volume wheel, or hit randomize. Studio Integration Plug into Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, or GarageBand. Works as a MIDI controller, audio interface, or both at once. Your HiChord, supercharged. Go fully under the hood. A free web app that connects over USB-C and unlocks everything. Design sounds from scratch, upload your own samples, build custom arp patterns, and tweak every parameter down to individual oscillators. No account or download needed. Designed to feel as good as it sounds. Premium aluminum chassis. Tactile buttons. Precision joystick. Every detail considered.
