Among the tricks I like to use: rotating chords, like the effect Robby Kilgore created on Michael Brecker’s Xpander. https://robbykilgore.com/harmonic-expansionism/ My own approach is a bit clunky. I stack multiple instances of the same synth. For each layer, I use a Steps (Sequence) module triggered by Note Advance to modulate the intervals in a Note Transpose module. Each sequence has a different length, so that the chords only repeat after a large number of times (the least common multiple of those sequence lengths). The reason I like this approach is that I can treat each voice independently, with its own FX. It also works well in legato, which is tricky with polyphony. Still, I’m sure you’d find a better way.
