100 Chapter 9 Modulation
Chorus
The Chorus effect delays the original signal. The delay time is modulated with an LFO.
The delayed, modulated signal is mixed with the original, dry signal.
You can use the Chorus effect to enrich the sound and create the impression that it’s
being played by multiple instruments or voices, in unison. The slight delay time
variations generated by the LFO simulate the subtle pitch and timing differences heard
when several people perform together. Using chorus also adds fullness or richness to
the signal, and can add movement to low or sustained sounds.
 Intensity slider and field: Defines the modulation amount.
 Rate knob and field: Defines the frequency, and therefore the speed, of the LFO.
 Mix slider and field: Determines the balance of dry and wet signals.
Ensemble
The Ensemble combines up to eight chorus effects. Two standard LFOs and one
random LFO (which generates random modulations) enable you to create complex
modulations. The Ensemble’s graphic visually represents the processed signals.
 Voices slider and field: Determines how many individual chorus instances are used,
and therefore how many voices (or signals) are generated, in addition to the original
signal.
 Rate knobs and fields: Use the respective knob to control the frequency of each LFO.
 Intensity sliders and fields: Use these to set the amount of modulation for each LFO.
