step by step

  • grab a Heisenberg or Pulverisateur
  • either mess with the configurations or use a preset (right click on the Heisenberg or Pulverisateur and look up anything your feeling)
  • next set a note track (add track - Heisenberg or Pulverisateur - note track)
  • for chords it is best for 3 notes to be place on the same column as each other
  • place 1 note on a column then the 2nd either below or above it at least 2 or 3 note tracks above the 1st, then the 3rd 2 note tracks above or below the second on, depending on if you went above or below on the 2nd note
  • make sure to mess around with the bits (1/4 - best for slow moving chords, 1/8 - best for trap chords, 1/16 - best for dupstep or electronical chords, make sure for 1/16, if you want it to sound good, to always use slide on when you right click on the note)
  • mess around with the fx too

Learn music theory. Or just stack a sensible amount of notes on top of each other until you get a sound you like.
Protip: take the bass and/or tenor voices in your chord and bring them an octave or two down if you need to cover more of the frequency range (http://www.hearandplay.com/main/the-alto-voice-in-a-chord). Listen to the intro to this as an example off the top of my head: https://soundcloud.com/flume/sintra - it can be very subtle but it helps achieve a fuller sound.
