Chorus
As the name suggests, a chorus seemingly multiplies the signal, liven-
ing up the sound, making it wider and thicker. The principle of the
Chorus is similar to the Flanger except for the fact that the modulation
is unsynced for the left and right channels and the pre-delay time is
longer making the Chorus fatter and less glassy.
Setting the Chorus Effect:
1. Click the button at the top of the effect to choose Chorus.
2. By matching Speed and Depth to each other, you can create a wealth
of effects. As a rule of thumb: The higher you set Speed, the lower you
need to set Depth and vice versa, otherwise the detuning becomes
too strong. A high Speed setting creates vibrato-like effects.
3. Now carefully turn the Feedback knob up to accentuate the detuning
effect of the Chorus.
Tremolo
Tremolo (also called amplitude vibrato) is commonly used to liven up
clean or slightly overdriven bass sounds. It was most popular before
Chorus became an alternative and it’s typical for many classic bass
tracks.
Programming the tremolo is pretty straightforward: You can only con-
trol Rate and Depth. Unlike traditional hardware tremolo effects this
one can be synchronized to the project tempo. This allows you to use
it as a “Chopper” effect e.g. for Nu Metal styles.
