This allows smooth, full-range chord bending even in DAWs that don&#8217;t support overlapping MIDI notes (like Ableton Live). The only drawback is that a 3-note chord may sound louder than intended, since all 6 voices are being pitched to just 3 notes.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf <strong>Smooth Bend (Trigger Mode):<\/strong> When bending from one chord to another in Trigger mode, if a new chord is triggered during the bend, it<br \/>\nseamlessly transitions to the newly triggered chord without cutting off the current motion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Settings Page in FluidChords2 allows you to customize plugin behavior, MIDI preferences, engine performance, and visual appearance.
