SOLINA has handy CHORD+ and CHORD- CV ins.
I'm assuming this will have the same affect as turning the CHORD knob clockwise and counter-clockwise.

What I'm trying to do is switch between two Chords with the 3VCSWITCH, so that on gate HIGH, we go up a chord, and on gate LOW, we go down a chords.

But I can't get it to work. Should it?

I don't have the Solina (... yet), but the wiki says :

CHORD + - Trigger input to play the next chord in the progression preset
CHORD - - Trigger input to play the previous chord in the progression preset

So in order to alternate between two chords You'd need to send a trigger to CHORD+, then a trigger to CHORD-, and then again. You could also hit the CV input
with an attenuated square LFO I guess.

CHORD + and - receive triggers and play through common progressions, while the CHORD knob (or its CV input) simply switches through the chords of the current scale/variation.

You can indeed generate alternating triggers to go back and forth between CHORD + and - with the 3VCSWITCH and a clock divider for example. Send a trigger source to the 3VCS input and route one output to CHORD + and the other output to CHORD -. Now use the DIV to toggle the 3VCS.
