I've been spending a good amount of time playing with this one 
Probably the most fun I've been having with BV-X. It is an effect / Auto Play patch.
It consists of two BV-X devices (one as the tracked solo) and the other as a fixed chord (doesn't track pitch). Then there are two Neptunes which are split L/R and have some slightly different adjustments to their formants. It makes for an instant big sound!
There's a "Chord Shift" button which shifts the fixed chord +10 semitones and -1 oct. It works really well with the scales that are set for the other devices. There is a "-1 Oct" button for the Neptunes for extra low bass voices.
Using the Mod Wheel will freeze/hold the formant for only the chord and it will increase the reverb for the solo (and some other fine adjustments like vibrato and level) so you can continue singing along. While the formant of the chord is frozen, try also adjusting the Formant shift knob for the chord. And definitely try out the Chord Shift button!
The pitch wheel is only assigned to the solo BV-X. You can also adjust the semitone for the solo as well, and since it is fixed to scale, it will stay in scale and work with the chords.
I'm still tinkering with it and considering it v.1.0 for now. When putting together the backdrop, I was going to make section names and then more concise labels for the controls, but then I just stuck to the descriptive labels there for now.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
