Hookline – UK Pop & House Chords & Arps for Cthulhu

Hookline is a collection of 50 Cthulhu presets designed for producers chasing clean emotion, tight groove, and instant melodic impact. Drawing from the soulful chords of UK Pop, the rhythmic swing of underground House, and the late-night energy of garage-tinged electronics, these progressions are made to do one thing: PULL LISTENERS IN.

Each preset gives you playable chords that flow like a topline, push like a groove, and leave room for vocals, basslines, or both. This is how you build the foundations for hooks that demand attention.

Whether you’re producing stripped-back club cuts, crossover pop anthems, or R&B-inflected house tracks, Hookline makes it easy to write with depth and movement right from the trigger. And because it’s built for Cthulhu, you can lock into a vibe instantly and explore endless voicings, transpositions, and rhythmic variations—without even opening a piano roll.

Like the mythical beast itself, the best hooks don’t shout. They lure you deeper.

What’s Inside:

• 50 custom chord presets for Xfer Cthulhu
• Voicings inspired by modern UK Pop, House, Garage & R&B production
• Perfect for creating vocal-friendly progressions, toplines, and groove-driven arrangements
• Chords with character—suspended, moody, euphoric, and harmonically rich
• Built for quick writing and deep exploration using Cthulhu’s triggering system

No overcomplicated theory. No endless tweaking. Just plug-and-play inspiration that lets you focus on the music.

How It Works
Hookline gives you 55 powerful presets—50 chord progressions and 5 arpeggios—built to spark instant creativity. Just load a preset, trigger a single note, and watch as rich harmonies and flowing melodies unfold. Need to switch things up? Transpose with Cthulhu’s built-in controls to fit any key or mood.
