The trick for playing chords with any distortion is to stick with chord partials.
That means simply, chords with very few notes.
Using the Octave slider on the MicroSynth two note chords work great.
5ths, 3rds and forth,s are ideal and sound very harp like.
If you try and play full bar chords with that setting it just creates to much to be intelligible.
With distortion less is best.
The added harmonics added by distortion make a simple two note chord sound as big as a 4 note chord.
If you use the guitar slider only you will be able to play as many notes as you want.
That is the signal with out any distortion.

Hi, i am trying to follow your example using a bass micro synth , I get very close to the sound but cannot play chords of any type without a horrible distorted sound. I did some research and it seems that even with the micro synth it is only able to play chords with just the guitar signal running through the micro synth, please explain how to play chords using just the ocatve up…
