Creating dynamics between notes in a chord

Hello!

So, whats your favourite techiques for creating dynamics between notes in chords? I am trying to figure out how to lower/raise the volume between the notes, so some increase in one lead to decrease in two.

Many thanks :star:

I thought maybe that the latest trigger will have the highest amplitude, in this sence you can release and retrigger a note to move it in front of the other notes and in this fasion circulate how the notes are “auditioned” in front of the others in a chord.

Kind of like a “ducking” effect?

Yes exactly =) and in this case I would like if the volume increase and decrease around 2.5% -5 % relative to each other.

An LFO with outputs for multiple phases, such as BogAudio 8FO, controlling levels in a mixer?

Hello,

Thank you for this contribution :orange_heart: . I didnt not know such a thing existed, I will start to experiment with it and there should be many applications for it =). Still I am wondering how I could on command increase the amplitude of one oscillator in relation to the others.

A start would be to use it for creating gridless rhythm… :star:

You’re describing a vca on the oscillator’s output, perhaps controlled by the output of a mix of the others.

Hello,

For a chord of A B and C

Im guessing the output rom the mixer of B+C is inverted and sent to VCA for A, but how to revolve so also any of the three could take As place?

Same setup x 3

Here’s an example using CV Mix modules, but you could use separate attenuverters and a bigger mixer to add more voices to the chord. The Rescale modules keep the CV values in the 0V-10V range, with a baseline of 5V so all the voices start off audible.
