Making chords in a eurorack modular is really difficult
It at the most basic level requires 3 VCOs, a filter, VCA and EG
Mutable Instruments Braids has a number of modes that approximate chords, though there is no official chord mode
X3 mode is a good place to start
There are four variations of this mode
/| /| x 3 mode is 3 saw waves with individual tuning.
This mode is I think inspired by past synths like the miniMoog, EMS synthi, the electrocomp 101, etc. The saw waves can be tuned independently giving pseudo chords.
nn_X3 ... three square waves
The tuning of three oscillators is tied to the Coarse knob & Timbre knob.
By turning the timbre & Color knob, two of those oscillators can be detuned above or below the central tuning of the primary oscillator.
These two controls are quantized to “snap” on musical intervals like octaves or fifths.

/\X3.... three triangle waves
SIX3...... Three sine waves
/|/|/|/| ....... 7 super saws detuned

The second pseudo-chord mode is the WTX4 mode
WTX4 is the wavetable times four page.
This mode is a 4-voice variant of the WLIN mode.
TIMBRE morphs through a small selection of 16 waves.
COLOR selects the harmonic structures between the 4 voices - from a predefined set of chords.
When COLOR is at 7 o’clock, all voices are playing the same note with a variable amount
of detuning, creating a thick chorus effect.

This is a great manual with the impt chord table for this mode.

There are a few variations in the original braids firmware which add extra chord modes.
Renaissance is a great place to start.

boost frequencies depending on the amplitude of the signal at its input. A traditional EQ is static. Dynamic EQ combines equalization with selective spacebar clicker compression expansion and sidechain triggers. It kicks in only when the signal you’re EQing goes above certain threshold which you pick.
