Techno Chord Runs

 

Techno Chord Runs are sequences that break down a chord into complimenting rhythms to create a driving and uplifting feel.

For this rack, I used the Rotating Rhythm Generator from the free CV Tools Pack.

Check out the video on top for a full overview and tutorial on how to capture your chord performance to a new MIDI clip.

 

The Racks

 

 

This pack comes with 2 racks. One is the full instrument rack that includes a built-in synth sound and bass with various controls to change the sound for performance or use it in your studio productions. The second rack is only the MIDI version of the sequencer so you can throw any instrument/plugin you want after to use your own sounds.

I’ve also added Macro Snapshots for quick access to the different chord types.
