Figure 13: Chorus module.
The Fat button is used to control the number of voices in the chorus effect. Switching this button
on increases the number of voices. The Spread knob is used to adjust the amount of dispersion of
the different voices in the stereo field. When in its leftmost position, there is an equal amount of left
and right output signal on each channel. In other words the signal is the same on both channels. In
its rightmost position, there is complete separation between the channels, the left output from the
chorus is only sent to the left channel while the right output of the chorus is only sent to the right
channel. Finally, the Mix knob allows one to mix the dry and wet signals. In its leftmost position,
there is no output signal from the chorus and one only ears the dry input signals. In its rightmost
position, one only ears the wet signal from the chorus module. In its center position, there is an
equal amount of dry and wet signal in the output signal from the module.
5.3.6 Flanger
The Flanger module implements the effect known as flanging which colors the sound with a false
pitch effect caused by the addition of a signal of varying delay to the original signal.
The algorithm implemented in this module is shown in Figure 14. The input signal is sent into
a variable delay line. The output of this delay is then mixed with the dry signal and re-injected into
the delay line with a feedback coefficient.
