About
CHOMPI Club has joined Chase Bliss!
Our pals at Chase Bliss made a mini-doc about our CHOMPI journey. This is our first big project that we’ve done as a team and it felt like the right time to talk about everything we’ve experienced to get here. It’s quite a story, and we’re so thrilled to be doing it together now.
CHOMPI is back!
*Now with a new firmware option.
There’s a lot to unpack, so we made a big video that covers everything in detail if you want to know more.
Key info to know:
-
We don’t have a ton of them. We launched 1100 units in classic black, and another 200 units in the limited edition white/translucent Storytime colorway in November of 2025. There’s a good reason for this – this is all of the remaining CHOMPI hardware that there is, and this will be the final run of CHOMPI in this exact form factor.
All of the CHOMPI units are in-house, assembled, and ready to go (worldwide). Because the numbers are relatively small, we’re confident we can ship these out more-or-less right away, we’ll keep the shipping estimates updated on the Chase Bliss website so just take a look at what it says when you place your order.
-
We have CHOMPI in stock at Chase Bliss, and are doing all of our support and repairs in-house now. This means we can provide better and faster help for customers all around the world through our Chase Bliss hubs in North America, the EU, Japan, and Australia. This is great news for everyone who currently owns a CHOMPI, or is thinking of getting one. :)
We also have been working hard on expanding what is possible on the current CHOMPI platform, and are excited to release a new alternate firmware: TEMPO! This is free and available for all new and existing CHOMPI users.

Our new CHOMPI firmware TEMPO is here, and it’s a big one!
When we first announced CHOMPI in 2023, the plan had been that CHOMPI would expand over time and offer different experiences – like a hardware platform. But then the Kickstarter popped off and those dreams had to be set aside in order to fulfill and support all those orders. So as we’re now part of Chase Bliss, it felt like the right time to make good on it.
TEMPO is essentially a rhythmic reimagining of CHOMPI. Whereas the original firmware – that we’re now calling TAPE – was all about fluid, free-form, “tape” style composition, TEMPO is the complete opposite. It’s all about making patterns.
The workflow and feel are still familiar and very “CHOMPI,” but otherwise it’s essentially a brand-new instrument. It’s free for anybody with a CHOMPI and pretty easy to update.

We’ve merged CHOMPI Support into the Chase Bliss ecosystem. That means all CHOMPI owners now have international support, and it will be faster and easier than ever to get help. We care a lot about our CHOMPI pals, and this will make your support experience even better.
All support (questions, repairs, etc.) are being handled by us and our Chase Bliss teammates! If you need help, feel free to submit a Support Ticket or email us at chompi@chasebliss.com
We’ve also transitioned our original CHOMPI Discord over to the Chase Bliss Discord, and we’ve made some new resources to help you along the way!
A quick peek at our story.
As electronic music enthusiasts, we endeavor to craft inclusive culture and empower new learners, making the world of sound design more accessible to a larger audience.
What started out as a personal journey to explore a more experimental form of music, grew into a community program, an education initiative, and now more than 10 years later has evolved into a unique musical instrument platform.

SUMMER 2025
We spent the early spring and summer beginning to merge CHOMPI world in the the Chase Bliss ecosystem, and continued to collaborate on more ways to help folks discover how exciting CHOMPI and effects pedals can be together! We joined the fun at SuperBooth 25, and CHOMPI has been popping up at lots of music events and demos through out the year.
In August, Chase Bliss hosted their first ever Bliss Fest in Amsterdam. We were so thrilled to create a whole CHOMPI experience and workshop for our CHOMPI pals in the EU.

Over the course of just a few months in early 2024, the CHOMPI team and Chase Bliss crew quickly became fast friends. What started out as a low-key convo around our complementary products, evolved into a collaboration for SuperBooth2024… naturally progressing into our fun little partnership for Treasure Island 🌴
