or just open one up and see if it can be hacked into achieving its true potential. honestly, i bought a chorda thinking there's about a 60% chance hacking this thing. the reason i havent is that its fun and nobody has opened it up to see if it can be modified. if opening it will prevent it working, well i have options for that, but the device is sooo close to achieving the full potential of this device, but they they update the app and patch it out. the fact is without being able to change which notes get put in the strum pad, without having some indication of where your presets are, the devices potential cannot be realized.

The Chorda is kind of a toy. Seriously, I'm sorry I did the kickstarter. But then I started building some Max for Live patches and using it to trigger things in Ableton. And it has a lot of potential for fun and more serious uses.
So how about opening up some of the details for more creative uses and hacking?!
For example I'd like to change the way the Strum keys work and have them just play fixed notes instead of moving through a scale relative to the keyed note on the neck. Another option would be to let me send them on a different midi channel. That would be cool too.
Just saying, I see similar interest on the Orb message board here and on Reddit. There's interest in letting us make the Artiphon instruments our own!!
