Chorus VST Plugins

Blend is a multi-voice chorus comprised of up to 16 separate layers.

Each of them actually is a chorus effect on its own – complete with a dedicated modulation generator and a feedback loop.

Even with all 16 layers activated, the resulting mix is dense yet always silky smooth and musical – thanks to clever proportional modulation phase offsets.

Blend also has three different interpolation algorithms, each giving it a slightly different sound character. And as much as it excels at creating delicious chorus and ensemble effects of many, many styles, Blend’s unusual flexibility allows it to easily go into much further territory, so effects like vibrato, tape wow, flanger, smear, dissonance, even reverb – are just a few tweaks away.

Humanity has travelled the world and all the seas. The sky is not the limit for us; we even reached the moon and beyond. But we were never able to explore the past (before).

Only Retronaut, our LoFi Nostalgia Machine, may take you there. Fasten your seatbelts. The expedition through history starts now.

KEY FEATURES

LoFi Nostalgia Machine

Retronaut is a multi-voice vibrato and chorus with LoFi effects. It is inspired by old analogue gear such as bucket brigade chips, tape cassettes, vinyl records and voltage-controlled filters.

Vibrato to Chorus

The multi-voice engine allows you to mix from a single vibrato voice up to 4, resulting in a rich chorus. The mix is continuously variable, so you can find sweet spots between the voices.

Degrade

Retronaut adds that nostalgic magic of the past, with multiple ways to age and degrade your music. Including warm dirt & grit, wow & flutter, dusty crinkles & crackles and more.

Diverge

Offset the voices in various ways to create organic and evolving movements. Spread the voices over the stereo field, progressively delay them, warp their phase and even offset the LFO rate for each independently.

More Than Modulation

The heart of Retronaut is its modulation. However, you can dial back the “Vibe” and use its other effects. The tape saturation sounds so good it could have been a plugin on its own. Get that warm, woolly and compressed tape sound, then shape it with the VA filters and mix to perfection.

Crossfeed Into the Aether

The Feed control sends the signal from each voice back into each other to create a complex feedback network. Combine this with Lag to delay each voice and the filters for dampening to get a lush modulated reverb that sounds breathtakingly beautiful.

Virtual Analog Filters

The plugin has high-pass and low-pass resonant filters with switchable 2 or 4 poles to shape the tone of the effect. The filters can also be modulated with the LFO to add extra motion and flow to your sounds.

Capturing the Essence of the BBD Chip

The AX Chorus is based on the ACE modeled MN3009 Bucket Brigade (BBD) chip found in both the AX73 and AX60 synthesizers. We developed our plugin with the chorus 100% the same as the mono input versions found in the original synthesizers and then added the option of making it a stereo effect.

As Akai never released the chorus as a separate effect we envisioned how it could have looked in the 1980s, and have included both the AX73 and AX60 chorus effects in one unit.

AX Chorus comes with 16 default presets

These include AX73 and AX60 presets, which are modeled on the two incarnations of the chorus in Martinic’s AX73 plugin.

Features

Made to Move: The ‘Color’ knob stands as TOC’s centerpiece, encapsulating a spectrum of tones from gentle whispers to wild waves in a single, intuitive control. This carefuly crafted feature effortlessly shapes the chorus effect’s character. Surrounding the color knob are 4 waveform types, each with it’s own character and movement type, the combination between these selections and the color knob creates endless variation that is easily explorable.

Hearing Voices: “The ‘Voices’ control is a key feature of TOC, adding layers of depth and dimension. From singular, focused modulation to a lush chorus ensemble, this feature unlocks a diverse range of auditory textures

Warp Mode Engaged: Warp Mode takes TOC’s modulation depth to a whole new level, this little toggle opens up the door to wild and imaginative sound design, perfect for lo-fi detuned guitars or tape like flutters.

Simply Effective: TOC’s Filters section might seem straight forward, but it holds carefuly tuned filters with suprisingly musical flavors.
The “Damp” knob is a complex filter of our own design, meant to warm up the processed signal and smooth out any artefacts so TOC sits perfectly in the mix with any instrument.

Spread It Around

This is chorus on steroids. Taking inspiration from the thick and wet studio processing of the 1980’s, Orchid is your quick-fix way to solve the problem of thin and weedy audio. Fatten up synths, basses, guitars, vocals or drums and add depth, richness and harmonic structure. Whereas most other chorus plugins only double the signal, Orchid quadruples your audio with four-way chorus processing, taking your productions to the next level.

You’ll be familiar with the standard controls for speed and depth but Orchid pushes the envelope for what you should expect from a chorus plugin. Introducing new ways to process feedback with reverb, delay, shimmer, spread and filtering. Some of the changes are applied separately to each of the 4 chorus modules which pushes the sound into phase and comb-filtered territory.

So whether you want to bust out some authentic 80’s synth leads or add a new level of depth to more modern productions, Orchid should be your first choice for chorus processing. It handles basic effects with ease but really shines when the modules are pushed harder to produce head-scrambling audio.

Speed, Depth, Feedback & Spread

These familiar parameters are the first steps of your chorus adventure. However, instead of just doubling the signal as most other chorus processors do, Orchid duplicates the audio 4 times for maximum depth and thickness. Set up the Speed and Depth of the processing and then dial in Feedback to determine the amount of signal fed back into the input, changing the character and intensity of the effect. Then use the Spread control to smear the sound across the stereo field for brain-bending imaging.

Shimmer & Space

This special Shimmer effect adds up to two octaves above the original audio, generating harmonics and sparkly top end with a slow phasing effect. Use this for brightening the sound and drawing attention to the upper frequencies.
The Space dial adds a little (or a lot) of reverb to each individual chorus effect, gluing them together simultaneously.

Delay & Filter

Delay the processing by up to 100 milliseconds, useful for carving out a space between the original audio and the chorus signal. The high and low pass Filter dials help to define the processed audio, very handy if you only need some bass grunt or top-end sheen.

Mix, Mute Source, Bypass, Input & Output

Choose to combine the chorus signal with your original raw audio via the central Mix ratio control, allowing you to dial down the chorus ratio for parallel processing effects. The bypass control is smoothed to be as click and pop free as possible for unhindered A/B testing when combined with the Input and Output volume sliders. In addition, you can hit the Mute Source button to hear just the processed sound – very useful for monitoring and special effects.

Visual Feedback

The live visual meter at the centre of the interface shows exactly what’s happening to the signal as it travels through each module in real time. This allows for accurate monitoring at every step of the chain.

Presets

With many included presets, it’s easy to find the perfect starting point for your own chorus exploits. Categorised into distinct instrumentation, these factory options can be used on guitars, bass, drums, synths and vocals. The presets include everything from subtle thickening to more full-on transformation effects.There’s also a range of special FX presets, mimicking comb-filtering and phase processing.

PSP B-Scanner is an emulation of the analog scanner-based effect available in the most sought-after models of vintage Hammond® tonewheel organs (such as B-3, C-3, A-100 and others).

Although PSP B-Scanner has been meticulously designed to recreate the classic sound of the Hammond® B-3 Vibrato and Chorus, it offers a wide range of options allowing you to maximize the potential of this unique effect.

Classic Chorusing for the Modern Producer

TriceraChorus is inspired by the classic tri-choruses and stompbox choruses of the 1970s and early 1980s, particularly the Dyno-My-Piano. It pairs rich BBD style tri-chorusing with another signature Eventide effect: micro-pitch detuning. This effect can be used to thicken the sound and widen the stereo field by detuning the left and right signals and pan them opposite directions.

The combination of these effects makes it easy to create syrupy, smooth, and deep modulations on synths, strings, vocals, guitar, bass, and more. TriceraChorus is a great way to add richness and spatial depth to your sounds.
 
Explore the Depth

TriceraChorus has three chorus voices: Left, Center, and Right. A three-phase LFO modulates the delay times for these voices. This relation ensures that your modulation sounds always have interesting and pleasing movement across the stereo field.

For a classic chorus stompbox sound, set TriceraChorus to “Chorus” mode. If you need something with more complexity and depth, “Chorale” produces lush, swirling choruses inspired by classic rackmount tri-chorus units. For a more psychedelic aesthetic try out “Swirl.”

Performance Ready

TriceraChorus is designed for real time parameter manipulation, resulting in seamless and glitch-free parameter automation of any parameter. Use RIBBON to play or automate sweeps between different settings. Wielding this intuitive performance macro can be great for intensifying the depth of flange-like settings, changing the rate of modulation for transitional effects, or simply controlling the Mix parameters for momentary performance flourishes.

For added live benefit, jump immediately from one setting to another using HOTSWITCH. RIBBON and HOTSWITCH settings are saved per-preset providing great flexibility in exploring the range of possibilities with TriceraChorus.

Features

• Three voice, Bucket Brigade style stereo Tri-chorus.
• CHORUS Mode evokes the chorusing effect created by classic chorus stompboxes.
• CHORALE Mode produces lush, swirling choruses inspired by classic rackmount tri-chorus units.
• DEPTH controls the amount of modulation applied to the 3 voices from the LFO.
• DETUNE the left and right channels simultaneously by +/- 40 cents.
• DELAY sets the amount of delay for the chorusing effect; use it to thicken your signal, create a flange, or slap-back sound.
• SWIRL adds stereo frequency shifting for a psychedelic flange-like flavour.
• TONE for shaping the high and low end of your signal. Remove muddy low frequencies or roll of high frequencies for a darker sound.
• RIBBON lets you sweep the effect between two different settings.
• Available for Mac and PC as VST, AAX, and AU plug-in.

With so many chorus effect plugins on the market, finding one capable of delivering a truly authentic analog sound is easier said than done.

KEY FEATURES:

• High-quality analog BBD delay line emulation
• NEW 3 delay lines, each one featuring:
  • NEW Multimode filter
  • Tremolo effect
  • NEW Panning
• 3 LFO generators, each one featuring:
  • 6 waveforms
  • Timeline-locked tempo sync
  • NEW Independent phase shift controls for left and right channels with link option
  • NEW Amplitude control with invert option
• NEW 3 LFO-to-delay-line routing configurations
• 64-bit internal processing
• NEW Tag-based preset browser

• NEW Three GUI scaling options
• NEW MIDI-learn functionality throughout

With that in mind, we set out to create the ultimate analog chorus emulation, inspired by the revered effects found in classic synthesizers such as the Solina String Ensemble, Elka Synthex and Roland Juno-106. This fruit of our labor is Syntorus 2, the newest addition to the Silver Line series of plugins.

Syntorus 2’s unique analog sound enriches any instrument routed into it, bringing life and movement to synth basses and leads, and adding depth and lushness to guitars and other electric/acoustic instruments.

Now for the science…

Chorus with REAL Analog Feel

The classic chorus effect is created by mixing an audio signal with one or more delayed and pitch-modulated copies of itself. It stands to reason, then, that the delay line module is the most important part of any chorus unit. For Syntorus 2, we constructed an extremely precise model of a high-quality BBD (bucket brigade device) analog delay line in the digital domain – the resulting emulation has an incredibly warm, musical sound with no unwanted digital artifacts.

Three BBD delay lines

Most chorus effect units use just a single delay, but Syntorus 2 deploys three analog delay lines to conjure a richer, fuller, deeper chorus sound. It also gives you a choice of two BBD delay line models: by default, the chorus effect is exceptionally clean and pristine, but activating Analog BBD Emulation adds even more analog warmth and character to the signal. And needless to say, full control is granted over all delay line parameters, giving you absolute freedom in sculpting your sound.

Configurable modulation

Syntorus 2’s three LFO generators serve as flexible modulation sources, routed to the delay lines in a number of switchable topologies. Timeline-locked host sync and independent adjustment of left/right phase offset broaden the spectrum of creative possibilities further still.

Filter and tremolo

Each delay line has a multimode filter and a tremolo effect built in, both governed by the same modulation sources as the delay time. The filter is ideal for cooking up convincing Leslie sounds, especially when delay modulation is used to simulate the directional characteristic and Doppler effect of a rotating speaker. The tremolo can be employed on its own or added to the modulated delay line for the crafting of even more dynamic sounds – it’s particularly effective on keyboards and guitars.

Complete synchronization

Each LFO can be independently synchronized to the host DAW, enabling the rate to be set in musical note values at project tempo. That in itself will come as no surprise, of course, but with Syntorus 2, the phase is also perfectly synchronized to the playhead position within your project, ensuring that your chorus always sounds exactly as it should at any point on the timeline.
