Symphonic Chorus
A faithful emulation of the 80’s classic chorus effect. Simple to use and frequently requested. The unit has just two controls, Frequency and Depth, controlling the rate and delay range of the stereo modulator. The unit produces a rich, lively and wide chorus sound with a suggestion of very mild phasing / flanging.
Live engineers commonly use this unit for thickening vocals and strings and creating a spatial sound from a mono source. This has led to two factory presets ‘SymphonicVox’ and ‘SymphonyStrings’.
The module is stereo in, stereo out (with software normalised mono input if the source is mono).
Frequency - Adjusts the modulator speed. Minimum setting is a very slow modulation. Maximum is fast modulation. Like the original 80’s unit, the maximum frequency setting is extreme and should be used with shorter depth settings to avoid space ship sound effects. Typical settings are just left of mid position.
Depth - Adjusts the modulator delay depth. Minimum position is short delay depth producing subtle modulation. Some programme may be more prone to phasing/flange type sounds. Mid position is a typical delay depth setting creating tonal depth with rich chorusing. High settings of depth can sound extreme if the frequency is also set too high. Mid position is a typical starting point.
