Panel map
CHORD CASTER is a 6-note polyphonic stereo synth voice with a chord-based quantizer and internal sequencing/automation. It combines a multi-parameter recorder, tempo-synced modulation, compression/saturation, and a 3-tap fractional delay for finished chord textures.
Basic use
• Choose harmony: Use chord controls/quantizer, then drive pitch via V/Oct or internal sequencing. • Record automation: Arm parameters and record per-step knob states while advancing stages. • Modulation bus: Use tempo-synced modulation to animate timbre, filter/shape, and stereo motion. • Dynamics/FX: Use compression + tanh saturation for density; dial the 3-tap delay for space. • Sync: Align multiple units via shared clock/reset if desired.
Patching suggestions
• Layered stacks: Two units in unison, slight detune/spread, shared clock/reset. • Automation phrases: Record an 8–16 step gesture and transpose externally for full sections. • Sidechain polish: Keep internal mix moderate and do final bus sidechain externally when needed.
