For best results, even with mono signals, use both inputs on the Z-DSP and the stereo out. A short Stackcable can be used to connect the left and right inputs to a mono signal.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChorus is one of the most essential effects for synthesizers and the chorus unit on many classic poly synths created much of their sonic signatures. This card for the Z-DSP offers 8 different algorithms inspired by some of the most classic effects in the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChorus effects use one or more delay lines which are modulated to produce a ‘doubling’ of the sound as if more voices are present. Programs vary from two to six delay line ‘taps’ or voices. Generally, the more voices the thicker and more complex the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe delay times of these programs tend to be in the 18-24 millisecond range which is common to most of the high end studio devices. Analog pedals are more in the flanger \u0026lt; 10ms range in order to use cheaper BBD parts, but there is also a Dual Flanger program with shorter times on the card.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLFO modulation provides a way to not only break up the comb filtering of a static delay, but also creates a sense of movement in stereo. Several of the programs use one or more methods like multiple LFOs, quadrature LFO, random walk and phasing to produce even more movement in the stereo field.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLFOs have both Rate and Depth controls: Rate is simply the speed of the LFO, and depth is how wide the LFO sweeps through the delay line. Most of the Programs on the card have Rates from several seconds to several times a second (0.1 Hz to 6+ Hz). Depth can vary the delay line position from less than 1ms to the entire delay range of 20ms or more. As the LFO sweeps through the delay line the sound changes pitch producing a ‘detune’ effect. Detuning is really what makes the ‘choral’ element in a Chorus effect.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSetting a slow Rate and higher Depth makes the pitch change subtler and can be very effective on pad and other ambient sound sources. Increasing the Rate will introduce a more pronounced vibrato effect and extreme settings of Rate and Depth can sound underwater.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAdding external Feedback can make the Chorus sound more intense and high levels of feedback can add a small room ambience. The Dual Flanger program has an internal feedback for the classic Flanger swoosh.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChorus effects can sound quite subtle compared to many other types of effect, and in some cases the effect is only noticed when it is switched off!.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tiptop Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449953808487,"sku":"59593","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/tiptop-audio-chorus-cartridge-for-zdsp_59593_1_1ddf78c9-256b-42dc-bab1-6dfac4a09377.jpg?v=1787091085","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/tiptop-audio-chorus-cartridge-for-zdsp","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
