The first article chooses the initial chord. After that, each N eligible articles queues a chord for the next allowed bar; changing N restarts the counter. Hold sets the minimum time between applied changes. Tonal and diatonic stay in key; wild transposes off it. Affects decides whether the plucks follow the chord or only the drone does.

Reach sets how far each ring travels before it fades — 100% reaches the far side of the world. Lower reach means fewer collisions. Flat rings apply to the 2D map only. Free drift uses Motion for per-wave speed and repeat variation.
