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.
