Chorus
The Chorus plug-in (only available in the Master Section) is a classic ste-
reo chorus based on a sweeping delay, with the following parameters:
Parameter Description
Delay (0.1~60ms) Use this parameter to specify the basic time delay for the chorused sig-
nal with respect to the “dry” signal. The higher the value, the more pro-
minent the effect. Low settings (up to 7ms) create flanger-like effects.
Settings up to 25ms are for classic chorus while settings above this
value are mainly for special effects.
Width (0~100%) Use this parameter to specify how much the delay time is allowed to
vary with the modulation. It is this variation in delay time that causes the
sweeping effect. Note that the value 0% should probably be avoided
since it might create the impression that you are experiencing phase
problems.
Frequency
(0.01~25Hz)
The Frequency parameter sets the speed of the sweep (the modula-
tion). The higher the value, the faster the modulation. You will probably
not use values above 7Hz except for special effects.
Feedback
(0~100%)
This parameter specifies how much of the output from the effect is fed
back to the input (the feedback signal is also phase inverted). The
higher the value, the more prominent the effect. At short delay times, this
creates a flanger-like effect. At larger settings it creates more of a slap-
back repetition type of sound.
Fb Balance
(0~100%)
Use this parameter to set the volume of the Feedback signal (see
above) in the mix. If this is set to 100%, and combined with a Feedback
setting between 65% and 100%, the effect goes into self-oscillation.
Glimmer 1,
Glimmer 2
(0~100%)
The two Glimmer parameters allow you to specify to what extent the
Chorus signal should move around in the stereo image. They work in
more or less the same way as the Auto Panner but only apply to the
Chorus signals. Glimmer 1 processes the right channel signal, while
Glimmer 2 processes a combination of the left and right channels (the
actual left channel always remains at 0).
Stereo Spread
(0~100%)
This parameter specifies the width the Chorus effect will occupy in the
stereo sound image. The value 0% creates a mono impression, and
since left and right channel signals are then mixed together, the Chorus
becomes louder.
Mix (0~100%) Use this parameter to specify the balance in level between the dry and
the delayed signal. The value 0% means that only the dry signal will be
heard, while 100% actually means a 50/50 mix between dry and effect
signal.
Output Lev
(-48dB~0dB)
This is an attenuator that allows you to reduce the output level of the
Chorus effect, avoiding clipping and hence distortion. If the Clip indica-
tor lights up continuously, lower this value.
