Sequencer settings
Chord strum attack — sharp pluck ↔ soft swell
Chord rhythm — stabs between changes
Hit ▶ Play and the chords step through automatically, strumming each one. Slide strum attack right for a soft swell, left for a sharp pluck. Pick a progression up top, change Key, or tap 🎲 for a new one — then strum or play melodies over the top.
Feel — humanize & variation
Humanize loosens timing & velocity so it breathes. Embellish slips 7ths, 9ths & suspensions into the chords (and varies the bass) each cycle, so the loop never repeats exactly. Fills sprinkle ghost notes and drop a fill at the end of every 4‑bar phrase. Set all to 0 for a strict, mechanical loop.
Drum machine — 16‑step
tap cells to programtap a name to mute
Program a beat on the grid, then hit ▶ Play — drums lock to the same clock as the chords. Mute a track by tapping its name (BD kick, SD snare, CP clap, CH/OH hats, LT tom, CY cymbal). Swing nudges the off‑beats for groove.
Bassline
tap cells to program the rhythmtap BASS to mute
The bass follows the chord root in the motion you pick (octaves, fifths or a walking line). Program its rhythm on the grid, then push Saturation for grit and Tone to brighten or darken it. Locked to the same clock as the chords and drums.
Arpeggiator
Arp effects
Volume shaper — draw the LFO (loops every bar)
Turn the arp on to roll the held chord one note at a time instead of strumming it whole. It follows the sequencer while it's running, or arpeggiates whatever chord you tap on its own. The strum‑attack control still shapes each note.

Chord voicing & Texture
Filter & Envelope
Osc 1 & 2 now feed both the plucked strings and the sustained chord pad. For a lush bed under the arp: layer a triangle (Osc 1) under a detuned saw (Osc 2), raise Morph for width, then open the Chord shaper below — slow Attack/Release, Chorus & Delay — and add Space from Texture.

Texture & space
Space adds a long, lush reverb to the chord pad; Shimmer layers an octave‑up wash on top. Freeze pad makes chords swell and sustain into an evolving drone — turn it on, raise Space, and the instrument becomes an ambient texture generator. Great with the arp + shaper too.
Export
MIDI saves the chords, bass & drums as a multi‑track .mid for any DAW (8 bars of the current pattern). Record audio captures a live take of exactly what you hear — tap once to start, again to stop & save (MP3 where your browser supports it, otherwise a WebM audio file).
