stereo. This is because there is a separate chorus for the left and right sides, modulating in opposite ways.

If you prefer the original mono sound, set the “Stereo” parameter to the middle position.

 Note: If you happen to own an original chorus unit from the analog era, you may notice that our choruses

don’t feature a volume boost when you switch them on. This is because our philosophy is to always main-

tain the same volume level, no matter whether eects are being used or not. This makes it easier for you

to choose the best eect purely by its character, and not to favor one eect over another simply because

it sounds louder. Of course, if you still want the volume boost, you can always use the “Volume” parameter

for this.

 Rate

Use the “Rate” parameter to adjust the speed of the chorus modulation.

 Depth

Use the “Depth” parameter to adjust the intensity of the chorus modulation.

 Tip: For the original Chorus Ensemble sound leave the “Depth” parameter at exact middle position and use

the “Rate” parameter to create your favorite sound - the original devices did not have a depth control.

 X-Over

Each of the chorus algorithms feature the “X-Over” (crossover) parameter. By raising the value of “X-Over”

you can protect the lower frequencies from being inﬂuenced by the chorus modulation, thus giving the

sound a stable bottom end. This feature was inspired by specialized bass chorus units; we found, however,

that this type of crossover control is not merely an advantage for bass sounds - it is suitable for shaping

any sound.
