Chord voicings/inversions in addition to chord types (major, minor, etc.)

[notno]

Currently there are FX to add chords with different types (major, minor, etc.) on modular and midi tracks. Chord voicings and inversions are another great way to add variation to music. 

This feature for NerdSeq would would make it possible to change the voicing of the chord that was set in the PCRD FX. Maybe it's part of the PCRD FX or maybe its another FX in addition to PCRD. 

So for a Major 7th chord the root closed voicing looks like: 1 3 5 7 (for example C4, E4, G4, B4). Then you can make inversions or alternate voicings of this chords.

First inversion: 3 5 7 1 (E4, G4, B4, C5)
Second inversion: 5 7 1 3 (G4, B4, C5, E5)
Third inversion: 7 1 3 5 (B4, C5, E5, G5)
Open voicing: a voicing that features wider gaps between each note, such as 1 5 3 7, or 1 7 3 5, or 1 5 7 3. 
Drop 2 voicing: a voicing that's created by starting with a 4-note closed position voicing and then dropping the 2nd highest note from the top down an octave. 5 1 3 7
Drop 3 voicing: dropping the 3rd highest note from top down an octave 3 1 5 7

Essentially just combinatorics of notes in the chord, their octaves, and which track is playing each one.

Arpeggios based on these voicings would also be great. Or maybe there's a strum option, to add a slight delay to each ensuing note of the chord.

For reference check out the Harmonaig module:

Hello, I am seconding this request with two simple additions:


1. I need a PCRD FX root note repeated octave up/octave down on all chords, so that major triad can become triad + octave up/down etc. This can turn all chords into four note chords, as a two note chord can become +Oct up, +Oct down or +UpDown

2. A second gap I have come across in modular type of track is that the higher tracks that play FX chord notes are not automatically triggered. This could be implemented with an alternative effect PCRT (chord triggered/gated) which would trigger the same type trigger or gate on higher channels automatically, as on the root note.
