I wasn’t finding the Vector’s chord mode all that fun to mess with on the fly, but stumbled on a fun trick that used the arpeggiator and track transposition along with the internal quantizer to cycle through chords on the fly using the Launchpad. I then applied some different clock divisions on the tracks and a few ratchets and arrived somewhere that was a lot of fun. There’s definitely potential here to explore chance ops, modulation, longer gate patterns, and such. The basic setup is: 1) Select a scale, 2) Set all the mono parts you want to include to ARPI, 3) transpose each part to get a chord of your liking. In this example, I tuned the voices to give me a CMaj7 based on the root of the scale I selected, Cmaj. From there you can mess with clock divisions, ratchets, step lengths, transposing voices differently on the fly, etc. Also, since it is in arp mode you can select more than one root note on the Launchpad and meld two or more different chords together.
