Each example plays a short passage twice with one setting changed. Switch tabs while it plays. The chords and timing were written for this page; the figures are Chopin's, credited under each player.

Pads 2, 3 and 4, switched mid-bar over E♭, Cm, A♭ and B♭7, with B♭7 half a beat late. Legato keeps each figure in step with the bar. Restart takes it from the top on the next beat.
The left hand of the Nocturne in D-flat, Op. 27 No. 2, through a circle of fifths from Cm to Gm. Voice-led moves it as Chopin moved his figures: notes two chords share stay where they are, and every seventh sounds. Fixed stacks the figure's shape on each new bass, and four of the five sevenths drop out.
The left hand of the Fantaisie-Impromptu, the most frequent figure in the library, over I–vi–ii–V7–I in C, then over a chromatic progression with a borrowed minor iv.
A right-hand figure from the Fantaisie-Impromptu over Cmaj9, Am9, Dm9 and G7sus4. Role, the default, works out which chord you hold and plays the notes the figure asks for by their place in the chord: root, third, fifth, seventh. However you spread the chord, those notes stay the same, and the ninths drop out unless one carries over from the chord before. Played ignores what the chord is and runs the notes you actually hold, low to high, through the same rhythm and shape, ninths included.
The left hand of the Prelude in D minor, with every chord held above middle C. Home, the default, keeps the figure in the octave Chopin wrote it in, here two octaves below your hand, wherever you play. Follow moves the figure to your hand: it starts on the lowest note you hold.
In each piano roll the left hand is dark, the right hand claret, and fainter notes are quieter. Grey lines mark chord changes. Dashed claret lines mark pad changes. The piano is a sampled upright, and notes are kept inside its range.
