Chorus
Essentials
Chorus modulates short delays to thicken and widen sounds. Use it to add movement to pads, widen guitars, or create lush textures. Use as an insert for direct processing or as a send for parallel effects; all parameters are automatable.

Controls
On/Off |
Activates or bypasses the chorus effect |
|---|---|
Delay |
Delay time of the modulated components (20-40 ms). Higher values create a more noticeable chorus effect. |
F.Back |
Feedback amount in the effect loop (0-100%). Higher values make the chorus sound longer. |
LFO speed |
Speed of the modulation LFO in Hz (0.1-5 Hz). Controls how fast the chorus sweeps. |
Depth |
Modulation intensity (0-100%). The amount the LFO influences the delay time. |
Spread |
Adjusts the perceived width of the effect (0-100%). Higher values create a wider stereo image. |

Practical Tips
Wide synth pads: Delay medium, F.Back light, Speed low, Depth high, Spread high
Funk guitar: Delay low, Speed medium, Depth medium, Spread medium
Lo-fi effect: Delay high, F.Back high, Speed low, Depth low
Combine with reverb, delay, or distortion.
In dense mixes, use subtle settings to add depth without clutter.
