Chorus

Chorus works by mixing the original signal with one or more slightly delayed copies whose delay time is modulated by an LFO. This constant small variation in delay causes tiny pitch fluctuations, mimicking the way several musicians playing the same part are never perfectly in sync — the effect that gives an ensemble its rich, shimmering quality. The result is a sound that feels wider, thicker, and more animated. Chorus is a staple on pads, guitars, electric pianos, and clean synth leads whenever you want lushness and stereo width. Key controls include the rate and depth of the modulation, which set the speed and intensity of the movement, plus a mix control to balance the effect against the dry signal.
