Stretching the chord
Where it stops being one hand on a guitar neck and starts being two hands on a keyboard. Kinda.
Chords sit low and close by default. Pull the right trigger R2 and the chord stretches open - the top voices climb up towards the melody register while the bass keeps its feet on the floor. Release and it comes home.
- A shallow pull opens the voicing. The low notes stay where they are while the top of the chord reaches upward, so a tight voicing opens out into a wide one.
- A deep pull sends the top up. The top string climbs an octave and then a second one at full pull, walking the chord's own notes on the way. The lowest strings hold their ground, so the chord stretches right across the instrument's range instead of bunching up at the top.
How it behaves
- It sets up the next strum. Notes already ringing aren't affected. Move the trigger, then play.
- Higher voicings ring brighter and shorter.
- High positions play open. The higher a note sits the more room it keeps from its neighbours, so a deep pull strums wide and clear, melody notes on top and the bass still at the bottom.
- It combines with everything else. Change chord mid-pull and the new chord voices at whatever height you're holding.
