CHORUS
Chorus blends your recording with a copy whose pitch gently moves, adding shimmer and width. Use it to give a plain guitar or keyboard part more body and movement.
Controls
RATE
- Range
- 0.1Hz to 2.0Hz
- Default
- 0.7Hz
Sets how fast the movement cycles. Keep it slow for a gentle shimmer, or turn it up for a quicker wobble.
DEPTH
- Range
- 0% to 100%
- Default
- 40%
Sets how far the copy's pitch moves. Raise it for a more obvious shimmer, lower it when held notes sound unsteady.
MIX
- Range
- 0% to 100%
- Default
- 27%
Blends the moving copy with the original recording. Keep it low for subtle thickening, or raise it to make the movement more prominent.
Start here
For an acoustic guitar, try RATE at 0.5Hz, DEPTH at 30% and MIX at 20%. Listen to a held chord, then raise MIX until you hear a little shimmer without losing the pick's attack.
Questions
How do I make a guitar sound fuller with chorus?
Try RATE at 0.5Hz, DEPTH at 30% and MIX at 20%. The moving copy adds body around the original; stop raising MIX before the chord loses its definition.
Why does my chorus sound out of tune?
Chorus works by moving the copy's pitch, so too much DEPTH can make a held note sound unsettled. Lower DEPTH first, then lower MIX if the movement still distracts from the tune.
