Sequencing

Chord

Turns one note into a chord: four pitch outputs a chord’s worth apart.

How it works

ROOT passes the input through; 3RD, 5TH and 7TH add the right intervals for the chosen chord. Patch each to its own VCO (and mix them) to play chords from a mono keyboard or sequencer. Triads put an octave on the 7TH output.

Inputs

V/OCTThe root pitch.

Outputs
