Chords
Dubler allows a user to create chords and chord progressions based on the note you sing and the key you’re in. It does this by associating each note with a different chord. You can turn the chords feature on at any point in the play tab
Next to the on off toggle there is also the option to select from a drop down of chord mapping presets. The most basic of which is triads, a preset that is available for all keys and the default preset when you turn on chords for the first time.
For some of the more commonly used keys there are additional presets, such as pop basic or pop advanced, that give you more nuanced chord progressions.
If you want to customise a preset or change the voicing of the chords you can do this over in the chords tab

Under chord mapping you can see what chord is associated with each individual note based on the current key restriction and chord preset. The wheel on the left hand side shows which notes make up the chord that you currently have selected.
To create custom chord mappings, you can select any note in the currently selected key restriction, and change the chord linked to it either via the chord drop down menu or the suggested chords below
At the bottom of the tab there are a number of options to adjust the voicing of the chords. Voicing will change how the chord is played, and how the individual notes of the chord are spread. There are a number of different voicing presets you can experiment with to change the sound of the chord

You can toggle the root note bassline on or off, meaning you can either just play the overlapping chord without the root note you are singing or both at the same time
The Follow option will make the chord follow the octave that is being sung. If follow is turned off, the chord will play at a fixed octave which can be adjusted by changing the shift value
Dubler also allows a user to split which MIDI channel the chords are sent to, meaning you can separate the single note melody and the overlapping chords to different MIDI channels. This can be done over in the Assign Tab
