random deviations to the Time and Rate parameters. The degree of
randomness depends on the spread Time and Rate parameters; setting the
Spread Time and Rate to 0 cancels the effect; increasing the value of the
Spread Time and Rate parameters adds additional richness and fullness to
the sound. It can also make the effect sound more natural.
Note: Rate Spread is only widening the sound with lower values, and
narrowing it again with higher values because when the modulation speed
is reduced more than only a bit, it reduces the Chorus Effect.
The Stereo dial is used to adjust the width of the stereo image. To create
the maximum stereo effect keep the dial all the way to the right. Note that
when used in combination with other stereo enhancing effects (such as the
ping pong delay) it might be desirable to set the Stereo dial to a lower
value.
With the Invert button you can control whether or not the internal feedback
inverts the signal or not. Inverted Signals usually sound smoother but lack
lower harmonics, so depending on the desired effect the switch can used.
The Pan parameter allows the Chorus effect to be placed outside the
center of the signal which might be desired for certain effects.
Compressor
The Compressor can be used to control the dynamic range of the sound.
Compression can be used to increase the perceived volume of a sound by
reducing the level transient peaks, and thus allowing for an increasing of
the average signal level without clipping.
The Ratio dial is used to set the ratio between the input and output level of
signals that are above the Compressor's Threshold level. The compression
