Chorus - Arturia VOCODER V User Manual

9.5.3. Chorus

The Chorus gives a rich, full sound by emulating the result of combining multiple instrument
takes in a mix, or several players playing the same instruments en ensemble. The basic
effect works by duplicating the input signal, delaying the duplicate, and modulating its delay
time slowly with an LFO. Mixing the dry and delayed signal (typically 50% dry and 50%
delayed) produces interactions between the two signals that create the actual chorus effect.
The Vocoder V chorus can create more than one copy of the input signal, for an even richer
effect.

♪: The chorus effect is similar to the Flanger effect (see below), except chorus delay times tend to be
longer (0.6ms minimum for this effect). This results in a subtle, natural sound instead of a sound that's
more like a special effect.
LFO Shape Selects either a sine or triangle wave to modulate the delayed voices.
•
Voices Chooses from one to three duplicated voices. More voices give a thicker,
•
more diffused effect.
Delay Sets the initial delay time for the chorus effect. Longer delays give a more
•
diffused effect.
Stereo Enable Stereo for a wider and more modern sound, or disable it for a
•
mono, more vintage effect.
Depth Sets the strength of the LFO's modulation on the delayed signal, from very
•
subtle to quite extreme.
Freq Adjusts the LFO rate to determine the chorus speed.
•
Feedback Determines how much of the Chorus output is fed back into its own
•
input. Higher settings give a more resonant effect.
