[sdiy] Off topic but not quite...

If your chord has soft attacks and releases, you could put chords in it, add an external jack for up/down, and toggle that way. Harder attacks/delays would work with rhythmic programming of "patterns". If it can be donee this way, it should be possible with a switch into some computer interface.

 Forgive me, this does not answer your
 question:
 
 You could build such a device with Reaktor, and I can do
 something similar with my MAQ16/3s.
