What it is
Chords Master is a Kontakt instrument built around strummed electric guitar chords recorded through a real tube amplifier and a genuine spring reverb, capturing an authentic 50s and 60s tone. Every chord was tracked three times using a Round Robin system, so retriggering the same chord doesn't produce the repetitive, machine-gun feel common in sampled instruments. It requires the full retail version of Kontakt 7.10.9 or later and is not compatible with the free Kontakt Player.
Who it's for
Producers working in soul, R&B, lo-fi, or indie styles that lean on warm, vintage-toned rhythm guitar will find this useful for laying down chord progressions quickly without recording a real guitarist or reaching for a plugin amp sim.
Key features
- Five chord types - Major, Minor, Major7, Minor7, and Dim - accessible via keyswitches
- Triple Round Robin sampling for natural, non-repetitive playability
- Vintage-style amp controls for Tremolo, Tone, and Reverb, plus three built-in effect pedals: Bucket Brigade Delay, Lofi Mood Stomp, and Warm Overdrive
- An on-screen chord name display makes it easy to see what's playing while you work
