Rave Generation: Super Chorus
Chorus, detune & supersaw
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 digital variant, plus modern stereo detune and supersaw. From 80s synthwave pads to massive electronic chorus sweeps.
Features
- Seven algorithmsFour classic chorus voicings spanning 1984 to 1997, plus modern stereo detune, supersaw, and a digital super chorus
- BBD simulationBucket brigade delay characteristics with period-correct frequency response and modulation behaviour
- Digital ensemble modeLate-80s rack ensemble DSP emulation with triangle LFO, antiphase stereo, output EQ shelving, and period-correct 12-bit character
- Digital super chorusSingle tap with wide 180° anti-phase and deep, slow modulation
- 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/expansionCompander processing on the analog rack and digital ensemble modes, VCA-style dynamics on the 1985 polysynth mode
- True stereo processingPhase-inverted LFO modulation for wide 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
- Supersaw7-voice implementation with 11th-order polynomial detune curves
- Direct MuteMutes the dry path so only the modulated signal is output, for use on an aux send or return
- Triangle wave LFOContinuously variable rate control from 0.1-10Hz with interpolation
- BBD filtering simulationHigh-frequency rolloff and analogue warmth
