• Each "strip" represents a control note, typically played in the lower register with your left hand.
• Use the voicing selector to choose which chord voicing to play. While holding a control note, play a pivot note with your right hand—and voilà! A jazzy harmony stacks downward from the pivot note.
• Humanizing Your Sound
  • To add natural variation to how each voice is articulated, enable the Toggle Delay Random or Toggle Velocity Random buttons:
    • Delay: The slider sets the maximum delay. Randomization ranges from 0 to the slider value—notes may arrive earlier, but never later.
    • Velocity: The slider sets the minimum velocity. Randomization ranges from the slider value to 127—notes may be louder, but never softer.
• Feeling Lucky
  • Click the Feeling Lucky button for happy surprises—it randomizes your voicing selection and pivot for instant inspiration!
