This patch started after watching a Michael Keithson video on Drop-2 piano voicings. He was demonstrating simple triads (C, F, G) and dropping the middle note. When I tried it in VCV Rack, I kept my usual 7th in the chord and accidentally thought “second” meant the second-lowest voice — so I dropped that instead.
A happy accident, but it opened the harmony beautifully.

The pad uses four Wavetable VCOs, each with its own slow OCHD modulation, so every voice drifts through the wavetable at a different speed. Even when the chord holds, the timbre keeps breathing.

Above it, a small “sparkle” voice runs into a delay whose time is always shifting. Combined with several trigger paths, the melody forms little phrases — long/short, long/long/short, occasional bursts — giving it a quiet, improvisational feel.

A simple generative piece built from C, F, and G chords, but the voicing twist made it feel unusually warm and alive.
