Notes node

Chorder

Turns a single held note into a full chord, with adjustable chord size, a strum offset, humanized timing and velocity, and scale quantization so nothing plays a wrong note.

What it does

Chorder is a note node: it makes, filters or changes notes before a synth plays them. It has no input and gives notes out, so it starts a chain.

Try it

Play a single key and let Chorder voice it into a lush, gently strummed chord for an instant pad.
