<\/p>\nThe Sound Page in FluidChords2 lets you shape, blend, and control the character of your chords and melodies using two fully independent
\nsound layers\u2014Sound A and Sound B.<\/p>\n

Also, ensure the MPE pitch bend range is correctly set to match the plugin’s capabilities. The default range is 48 semitones.

\nEach layer can load one of the following engines:
\n\u25cf Internal Synth
\n\u25cf Internal Sampler
\n\u25cf Plugin Host (MPE-compatible instrument)<\/p>\n
\n\u25cf Comes with a built-in preset browser.
\n\u25cf Includes a wavetable visualizer.
\n\u25cf Features Filter and ADSR envelope for tonal shaping.
\n\u25cf Supports Macros for assigning key synth parameters for live or automated control.<\/p>\n
\n\u25cf A multi-sample MPE-compatible engine.
\n\u25cf Includes a waveform visualizer.
\n\u25cf Now also features a filter and ADSR envelope, just like the internal synth.
\n\u25cf Does not include macros.<\/p>\n
\n\u25cf Scan for MPE-compatible VST\/AU using the Fluid Chords 2 Plugin Scanner. More about it below.
\n\u25cf Load your favorite MPE-compatible VST\/AU instruments.
\n\u25cf Preset and parameter control depends on the hosted plugin.
\n\u25cf Still supports core controls like Tune, Gain, Pan, and Play Modes.<\/p>\n
\nEach sound layer comes with a consistent set of controls and features at the top:
\n\u25cf Enable\/Disable Toggle: Quickly turn Sound A or B on or off.
\n\u25cf Mute: Silences the selected sound without disabling it.
\n\u25cf Solo: Mutes the other sound so you can isolate the one you’re working on.
\n\u25cf Tune: Transpose the sound in semitones.
\n\u25cf Gain: Adjust the volume of the sound.
\n\u25cf Pan: Position the sound in the stereo field.
\n\u25cf Play Mode:Choose how the sound responds to chords:<\/p>\n
\n\u25cb High: Plays only the highest note in the chord.
\n\u25cb Low: Plays only the lowest note in the chord.<\/p>\n
\nEach sound layer includes its own FX panel:
\n\u25cf Delay \u2013 Add rhythmic space
\nReverb \u2013 Add depth and ambience
\nThese are fully independent for Sound A and Sound B, giving you precise control over each layer\u2019s spatial character.<\/p>\n
\nThe Blend knob in the center mixes Sound A and Sound B:
\n\u25cf Turn toward Sound A to emphasize that layer
\n\u25cf Toward Sound B for more of the second layer
\n\u25cf Keep it centered to balance both<\/p>\n
\n\u25cf Enable this option to split the role of each sound:<\/p>\n
