Rave Generation: Super Chorus

Chorus, detune & supersaw

Rave Generation: Super Chorus
Seven chorus and modulation algorithms spanning four decades: a 1984 analog rack chorus, a 1985 polysynth chorus, a late-80s digital ensemble, a 1997 digital synth chorus and its firmware-accurate variant, plus modern stereo detune and supersaw. From 80s synthwave pads to massive electronic chorus sweeps.

Features

  • Seven authentic algorithmsFour classic chorus circuits spanning 1984 to 1997, plus modern stereo detune, authentic supersaw, and a firmware-accurate digital super chorus
  • Hardware-accurate BBD simulationAuthentic bucket brigade delay characteristics with proper frequency response and modulation behavior
  • Digital ensemble modeLate-80s rack ensemble DSP emulation with triangle LFO, antiphase stereo, output EQ shelving, and authentic 12-bit character
  • Firmware-accurate super chorusDigital single tap with wide 180° anti-phase and deep, slow modulation, matching the behaviour of the original firmware
  • Variable pre-delay0–35ms pre-delay on all BBD chorus modes and the digital ensemble, applied inside the modulation tap for true chorus pre-delay character
  • Period-correct rate mappingLogarithmic scaling on the 1984 analog and 1997 digital modes, linear mapping on the 1985 polysynth mode, dedicated range for the digital ensemble
  • Integrated compression/expansionAuthentic compander processing on the analog rack and digital ensemble modes, VCA-style dynamics on the 1985 polysynth mode
  • True stereo processingPhase-inverted LFO modulation for authentic stereo imaging across all modes
  • Modern enhancementsStereo width control, variable pre-delay, variable dry/wet mixing, and tone shaping
  • Context-sensitive parametersRate and Depth adapt their function based on selected mode
  • Stereo detunePitch-shifting algorithm with cubic detune curves
  • Authentic supersaw7-voice implementation with 11th-order polynomial detune curves
  • Direct Mute functionalityAuthentic Direct Mute behavior per original hardware specifications
  • Triangle wave LFOContinuously variable rate control from 0.1-10Hz with interpolation
  • BBD filtering simulationAuthentic high-frequency rolloff and analog warmth
