ChoralRoot J-6

• One hundred chord sets give each of the twelve keys a ready voiced chord with extensions and slash basses.
• With a set on, the left nine keys become set controls for SET, GENRE, TRANSPOSE, HOLD and PHRASE.
• Six synth engines hold 144 factory sounds: FM6, FM TONE, VA, CZ-1, WHEEL and PHYS.
• PRESETS turns through all 144 sounds as one list while a set is on, engine by engine.
• The looper records chords rather than audio across ten slots, with overwrite, overdub, replace and step entry.
• Strum, Slop, Arpeggiate, Pattern and Harp play your chord for you, with reverb, chorus, delay and drive behind them.
• SAVE keeps up to 32 of your own sounds, and the chosen set returns after you switch off.
• USB carries MIDI both ways and a six-channel audio input, and the TRS jack takes MIDI in.
