Sequenced Chords

7 min · Polyphonic mode · No patch cable needed

 

Recording a chord progression into the sequencer, then reshaping it without touching a single note.

The key idea: with three-note chords, each oscillator holds one note — so the range switches become a voicing tool. Flip one up an octave and the whole progression re-voices itself while it plays. From there, muting oscillators, changing waveforms, adding a slow LFO for wavy filter movement, or a square LFO to run a second rhythm against the sequence. Ends with varying how many notes each step holds.

Tip: Record at least three notes per chord. Two-note chords leave you nothing to transpose, and the range-switch voicing trick is the best part of this patch.
