Overdrive / Delay / Reverb

Sets the type of effect produced by the first effect unit. All
further parameters depend on the selected effect type.

Chorus

A Chorus effect is generated by using Comb filters that
generate slightly detuned copies of the input signal and
mix it into the output signal. The result sounds like an
ensemble of several simultaneous sounds, like a choir as
opposed to a single voice; hence the name Chorus. The
detuning is generated by an internal LFO that can be
controlled in speed and depth. The Chorus’ high
frequency output can be dampened with the Cutoff
parameter. The Chorus effect offers besides the known 2
Stage mode (1 left, 1 right) also 4 (2 / 2) and 6 (3 / 3) Stage
modes. This results in a far denser chorus effect perfectly
suited for lush string or pad sounds. Furthermore, it sports
feedback, which makes the Chorus also act like a Flanger.

w

A Mix setting of 48 to 96 produces the strongest effect
because both the unaffected signal and the processed
signal are mixed together.

Stages

Dual / Quad / Hexa

Sets the number of Chorus stages. Higher settings result in
a denser effect.

Speed

0…127

Sets the LFO speed of the Chorus effect.

Depth

0…127

Sets the modulation depth of the Chorus effect.

Spread

0…127

Adjusts the phase offset of the LFOs of the right stereo
output compared to the left and the speed deviation of the
additional Chorus LFOs compared to the LFOs of the first
two stages. When set to 0, all LFOs are in sync and the
Chorus resembles the sound of old string machines.
Higher values result in wider Chorus effects.

Delay

0…127

Sets the initial delay that is added to the Chorus delay
line.
