12.3 Modulation Effects
12.3.1 Chorus
The Chorus is useful to “thicken” signals and enhance or add stereo content. It is most effec-
tive on melodic sounds, but can also be used on hi-hats to make them more vivid or on a voice
sample to create a doubling effect (thereby making it sound as if there were several voices). It
works by splitting the audio signal up into two versions and slightly detuning one of them.
