A scale or chord can be sorted and optionally widened, by applying one or more voicing modulators to the target track. The voicing modulator's steps are interpreted as follows: If the step value is one or more, it selects a tone to be shifted down an octave (dropped). The numbering scheme is one-based and starts from the highest-pitched tone, i.e. a value of 1 drops the highest tone, a value of 2 drops the second-highest tone, and so on, as shown below. Negative values cause the corresponding tone (determined by taking the absolute value) to be raised instead of dropped.
| N | The Nth-highest tone is shifted down an octave. |
| 3 | The third-highest tone is shifted down an octave. |
| 2 | The second-highest tone is shifted down an octave. |
| 1 | The highest tone is shifted down an octave. |
| 0 | The scale or chord is sorted, but no tones are shifted. |
| −1 | The highest tone is shifted up an octave. |
| −2 | The second-highest tone is shifted up an octave. |
| −3 | The third-highest tone is shifted up an octave. |
| −N | The Nth-highest tone is shifted up an octave. |
Multiple voices can be dropped by applying multiple voicing modulators to the track. For example, to create a drop 2/4 voicing of a tetrachord, apply two voicing modulators, one outputting 2 and the other outputting 4. Many other combinations are possible.
To shift a tone two octaves instead of one, specify the same voicing modulation twice in the track's modulation list. If a voicing modulator exceeds the range of the current scale or chord, it's ignored.
After the voicing is applied, the tones are sorted again, and only then is a tone picked via index modulation.
