Yes, I’m easily amused, but this is a parameter I’ve been asking about here for over a decade now:

The H90 Diatonic / QuadraVox algorithms now add a Quant toggle to the parameter set. You can use it to transform any pitch bends into stepped glissandos, which are constrained to the current Key & Scale. Here’s a rough & dirty starting point:
- Mix – 90 (just a touch of Dry)
- Pitch A / Pitch B Mix – A10+B10
- Pitch A – Unison
- Pitch B – Unison
- Delay A – 10 mS
- Delay B – 20 mS
- Key – E (example)
- Scale – Minor (example)
- Feedback A – 0
- Feedback B – 0
- Quant – ON (essential)
- In Gain – gain-staging specific
- Out Gain – gain-staging specific
- Tails – system specific
- Kill Dry – system specific
Similar values for QuadraVox, noting the exposed parameter changes.
Variations: select any Key or Scale; change one of the Pitch intervals to a harmonized note; drop the Delays to zero to remove the subtle doubling effect. You can ease the main Mix back to 80-85 for some added detuning. You will run the risk of some real Hoover bloopers with some bending techniques, and hear the processing lag.
