6. CHORUS Function
The CHORUS parameter determines whether the Chorus is active or bypassed
for the current preset.
The LEVEL 1 parameter determines the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.
The DIR/EFF MIX parameter in the Mixer function also determines the Chorus
level.
PAN 1 parameter allows you to pan Voice 1 to the left or right channel.
The DEPTH 1 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of the Voice 1 signal.
A lower depth setting will produce a more subtle detune effect, while a higher
setting will produce a more extreme detuning of Voice 1.
The RATE 1 parameter determines the sweep speed (or the speed at which Voice
1 is modulated). Lower parameter settings will result in slower speeds, while
higher settings will result in faster speeds.
The DELAY 1 parameter allows you to select the minimum delay time (in mil-
liseconds) for Voice 1. This delayed signal (along with Voice 2) is detuned and
modulated to produce the chorus effect. Using shorter delay times will result in a
tighter sounding chorused signal, while longer delay times will produce a larger
ambient effect.

The CHORUS function is available if you have selected it in the MODULATION EFX Function.
The Chorus effect in the UTOPIA B300 is produced by using two delayed signals (Voice 1 and Voice
2), detuning these delayed signals (slightly changing their pitch), then modulating the detune effect so
that the amount of pitch detune is constantly varying. Using different detune amounts, modulation rates,
modulation depths and pan settings for each delayed signal will produce a greater perceived spacious-
ness.
The PARAMETER SELECT knob will allow you to access these CHORUS parameters:
