A chorus module recreates the sound of multiple takes of an instrument being
combined in a mix. Even with the best of performances there are always
differences in tuning or timing, and when taken to either extreme the results
can range from slow and lush to a wobbling, quick vibrato.
The speed of the effect is set by the Rate knob, while its depth and width are
controlled by the Amount and Delay knobs, respectively. The resulting
“frequency blur” is different for the left and right halves of the signal, which
allows us to derive a stereo signal from a mono signal. The difference between
the two halves then can be set with the Stereo width, with the speed of the
left-right rotation under the control of the Stereo rate knob.
The Mix control sets the ratio between the input signal and the treated signal,
while the Type switch selects between three different chorus models: simple,
medium, and complex.
