Chorus Effect
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 incoming signal and create the impression
that multiple instruments or voices are being played in unison. The slight delay time
variations generated by the LFO simulate the subtle pitch and timing differences heard
when several musicians or vocalists perform together. Using chorus also adds fullness or
richness to the signal, and it can add movement to low or sustained sounds.
• Intensity slider and field: Sets 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 Effect
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 display visually represents what is happening with the processed
signals.
