Oooh - I like the result of this extended chord experiment with my NORSIQ Chord To Scale module! For this demo the chord intervals are constant, and only the root changes. I can only imagine what a keyboard player (especially a jazz player) could do with this thing if providing live extended chord changes as scales for the quantizer.

I threw this patch together in very little time. First I ran the PolyCon through a “normal” quantizer and then to an FM-OP, and tuned the 8 pitches to an extended chord that I liked, covering one octave and a perfect fifth. I then rerouted that polyphonic chord to the NORSIQ Chord To Scale module, and the intervals go to my quantizer.
Venom Random Rhythm provides a randomly generated pattern of gates for 5 FM-OP voices, and a RND provides random V/Oct to be quantized. The RND range is 2.5 octaves, and then a PolyOff offsets individual voices by ~0, ~1, or ~2 octaves.
The quantizer also sends the complete chord to a 2nd FM-OP for a droning chord voice.
A sequencer changes the root of the chord/scale at the start of each bar of 5 1/4 notes.
I spend very little time sculpting the sound, but I love the result.
