The term "chord voicing", refers to the many ways that a given chord can be spelled out, note by note, on a polyphonic instrument like the guitar. A pedal steel guitar player commonly has ten strings on his or her instrument, and though players typically stick to two, three or four notes voicings, it is possibly for a player to play up to ten notes at once. As a result players can choose to play chords whose notes are widely spaced (by skipping certain strings), or ones whose notes are even closer together than the typical thirds found in triads.
Due to the nature of E9th tuning combined with it's typical pitch bend arrangement (using the pedals and levers) and choice of neck position, the E9th pedal steel can play a staggering variety of chord voicings. Since we sampled and programmed the Wavelore Pedal Steel Guitar with the intention of making it's available techniques mirror that of the real thing, we ended up with a virtual instrument that can cover a huge harmonic vocabulary.
