Also, of the suggestions so far, Scaler 2 seems to be closest to what I was looking for. I checked out Forager and MusicJam, but I didn't see that they were able to create custom chords. Thanks for all the suggestions - keep them coming!
Riffer has 4 sequencing windows - set them all to omni or whatever channel you want. Now you are playing 4 separate lines of notes. If they are all playing at the same beat setting then you are playing a sequence of 4 note chords.

In my example I have them all set to C minor and quantised to 1/2. Playing loop lengths of 20, 16, 16 and 12

I have most of each sequencer locked to a few individual notes sustained for quite a few beats and leave a few notes to get randomised. You get repeated long notes overlapping - forming chords - but because the loops are different lengths the overlaps change so the chords change.

And there are the free notes as well, maybe 4 or 5 per sequence

Each sequence gets randomised every so often (only the free notes, thelong notes are locked) after repetitions of 4, 3, 2, and 2

Written down that seems a lot but actually took little time to do

I build stuff myself so I don’t really care about presets , but sometimes I have the impression people just don’t want to learn new things.
this comes across to me as "some people are not good enough for Architect but I am "
Hence, not worth replying to.
Obviously has a hell of a lot of time on his hands.
You’re the one complaining that there are no presets after 3 years .
Architect is amazing even when you just use the build in sequencers and RTFM !
It’s worth checking out the build in modules.
You want a random chord generator in architect .
Trigger a uniform integer distribution module , it will then spits out lists which are just numbers like this
“60,63,70”,”80,66,53” etc..feed those into a makenote module and you’ve got a random chord generator.
Lazy spoonfed generation

Ha, "things were 'difficult' for me, so they should be just as 'difficult', or worse, for everyone after me". Spiteful, bitter generation
