first, you need to know what major and minor chords are. A major chord is like a happy chord, and a minor chord is like an evil or unhappy chord (at least that's what it sounds like to me). An example of a major chord is D, F#, and A. An example of a minor chord is D, F, and A. You can arrange these chord anyway you want (meaning that you can change the octaves of the notes). Also, if you want to make fast and easy major and minor chords, then use this trick: Base note, D, move up 4 notes, place the F# on the fourth note, move up 2 notes, place the A on the second note, major chord, to change to minor, move the F# to F. Once you've made your chord, start to do chord progression. Chord progression is when you play multiple chords in the same key over and over (meaning, you play D then C then E - Just an example). Once you've done that, you start making a melody that goes along with those chords. You can also change the synth around to make the chords sound better. Also, if you have a keyboard, then you can make chords on there, then copy those chords on audiotool. Hope this helps Vulkron.
P.S. Can you make sound design tutorials, I'm kinda stuck on how to make sounds right now.
What i do is place the bass line down (root notes) and add a note 7 semitones up from each, then i place a note in between those two. Depending on where the middle note is, you can make minor and major chords. Hope this helps
load a synth or piano preset (by right clicking the heisenburg and clicking load preset, then look up what u want)
one a note track, preferably id do 1/8, make something like this
^when u make one note track go up 2 from it then 1 from that one. should sound really good. u can also do something like this
u know just fiddle around with it make it sound good. id get a delay, ste it to 1 step with a 16 step echo, set the freq. high, level low. then add a slope, a r.eq and that should do it

mapping out a key and set of root notes first helps a lot

This YouTube channel can offer you inspiration when designing chord progressions: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFKJ7NEE5S76QYK696nXDfg
by chord sound design, are you asking how to create a synth that sounds nice for chords, or how to structure chords themselves?
get a heisenburg

:)
i must say this is the worst chord trick ever
and sound desiggn
