95% of the time, I can only get 1 voice at a time. 5% of the time, I can get 2 or 3 voices at a time (1 variable pitch, the others fixed pitch) but I have no idea what input causes this rare behavior. Can you add some help text explaining what various input sequences will achieve?

A tutorial would be helpful.

Holding down a note and waiting will cause a second, then a third not to appear. When you move your held, note to another pitch, the other pitches will follow, but with a bit of delay. This produces what is known as staggered voice leading, and produces interesting "in-between" chords.

Aha! In hindsight, I'm amazed that I managed to not figure this out on my own.
