Nice work!

I have a suggestion about the chord:

With a single chord like this I think it sounds better to tune it with "just intonation". For a major chord it is [ f * 1, f * 1.25, f * 1.5 ]. With these frequencies the chord will not wobble.

Thanks for the feedback; I saw this further down the comments as well. Will give it a shot!

EDIT: Yep, sounds way better. Will definitely have to look more into this! Thanks again.

A little wobble can be nice though. When I write synthesizer patches, I almost always detune the oscillators a few cents.

On a synth in a musical piece, absolutely.

But in a technical piece like this, I prefer if it isn't.

there's the https://pudding.cool site that kind of does this stuff?
