CHORUS

Listen

Controls

• Rate0.1 to 20 Hz — Speed of the sine LFO modulating the delay time.
• Depth0 to 10 ms — Sweep of the delay time; the delay moves between 5 ms and 5 ms + Depth, so it never runs out of range.
• Mix0 to 100% — Blend between dry signal and modulated delay.
• Voices1 to 4 — Number of chorus voices in Classic mode (1 to 4); their LFOs are spread evenly in phase for a thicker ensemble.
• Stereo Spread0 to 100% — Shifts the right channel's LFOs against the left (up to half the voice spacing) for a wider stereo image; in Dimension mode it widens the two taps from half to full width.
• Feedback0 to 90% — Amount of the wet signal fed back into the delay lines for a more resonant, flanger-like chorus. 0% is off.
• Tempo SyncOff / 1/1 / 1/2 / 1/4 / 1/8 / 1/16 / 2/1 / 4/1 / 1/4T / 1/8T / 1/4D / 1/8D — Locks one LFO cycle to a note value at the project tempo (straight, triplet or dotted), following the song position while playing. Off uses Rate.
• High Cut1000 to 20000 Hz — One-pole low-pass on the wet signal for a darker, vintage chorus. 20 kHz is off.
• ModeClassic / Dimension — Classic is the multi-voice sine chorus; Dimension sweeps two short delays in opposite phase with a slow triangle, for a wide, mono-safe sound with very little pitch wobble.

Best uses

• Thickening clean guitars
• Widening the feel of pads and keys
• Adding movement to backing vocals
• Subtle detune on synth leads

Properties

Input → delay line swept by a sine LFO between 5 ms and 5 ms + Depth → linear (fractional) interpolation → Dry/Wet Mix → Output. One LFO drives both channels, there is no feedback, and no latency.
