Smart Chord and Smart Scale Modes Inspire Your Ideas

The Hammer 88 Pro's smart chord and smart scale modes open up new creative possibilities. With smart chord mode activated, each key plays a full chord. The root note depends on the key you press, while the chord type depends on your selected settings. Smart ccale mode limits the keyboard to notes within a chosen scale, allowing you to improvise freely without hitting a "wrong" note. These intelligent features make music production fun and inspiring for musicians at any skill level.

Essential Tools for Modern Music Production

The Hammer 88 Pro provides essential tools for crafting hip hop, electronic and dance music. Its built-in arpeggiator repeatedly plays the notes you press, creating rhythmic patterns to build on. Note repeat allows you to hold down a pad and hear a repeated note at a selectable rhythm. Use latch mode for hands-free operation or momentary mode for instant creativity. These powerful tools open up a world of new techniques for studio work and live performance.
