Chorus Function - Rocktron CHAMELEON User Manual

The CHORUS function is available only in configurations displaying "CRS" in the configuration title.
The Chorus effect in the Chameleon is produced by using two delayed signals (Voice 1 and Voice 2), detuning
these delayed signals (slightly changing their pitch), then modulating the detune effect so that the amount of pitch
detune is constantly varying. Using different detune amounts, modulation rates, modulation depths and pan
settings for each delayed signal will produce a greater perceived spaciousness.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these CHORUS parameters:
CHORUS I/O
LEVEL 1
PAN 1
DEPTH 1
RATE 1
DELAY 1
LEVEL 2
PAN 2
DEPTH 2
RATE 2
DELAY2
The CHORUS I/O parameter determines whether the Chorus is active or bypassed for
the current preset.
The LEVEL 1 parameter determines the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2. The
DIR/EFF MIX parameter in the Mixer function also determines the Chorus level.
The PAN 1 parameter allows you to pan Voice 1 to the left or right channel.
The DEPTH 1 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of the Voice 1 signal. A lower
depth setting will produce a more subtle detune effect, while a higher setting will produce
a more extreme detuning of Voice 1 .
The RATE 1 parameter determines the sweep speed (or the speed at which Voice 1 is
modulated). Lower parameter settings will result in slower speeds, while higher settings
will result in faster speeds.
The DELAY 1 parameter allows you to select the minimum delay time (in milliseconds)
for Voice 1. This delayed signal (along with Voice 2) is detuned and modulated to pro-
duce the chorus effect. Using shorter delay times will result in a tighter sounding cho-
rused signal, while longer delay times will produce a larger ambient effect.
The LEVEL 2 parameter determines the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Voice 1 .
The PAN 2 parameter allows you to pan Voice 2 to the left or right channel.
The DEPTH 2 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of the Voice 2 signal. A lower
depth setting will produce a more subtle detune effect, while a higher setting will produce
a more extreme detuning of Voice 2.
The RATE 2 parameter determines the sweep speed (or the speed at which Voice 2 is
modulated). Lower parameter settings will result in slower speeds, while higher settings
will result in faster speeds.
The DELAY 2 parameter allows you to select the minimum delay time (in milliseconds)
for Voice 2. It is this delayed signal (along with Voice1) that is detuned and modulated to
produce the chorus effect Using shorter delay times will result in a tighter sounding
chorused signal, while longer delay times will produce a larger ambient effect.
