mxm-chorus-06

Sound

This is the chorus already built into mxm-poly-06, now in its own plugin. Both use the same DSP, so I only have one chorus to keep right.

A triangle wave moves two bucket-brigade delay lines in opposite directions. That little disagreement in timing makes the stereo width. Sum it to mono and the effect folds down neatly.

The JUNO-106 had three switch settings. Here they are presets and exact stops on a continuous Rate knob: One, Two, and Onetwo. You can stay at those familiar speeds or wander well outside them.

Four knobs

• Rate sets the speed.
• Depth sets how far the delay lines move.
• Mix adds the wet signal while leaving the dry path alone.
• Noise adds the original circuit hiss—or removes it when you want a cleaner track.

Mix at zero switches the chorus off, clears its delay lines, and lets the host put it to sleep.

Interface

The four knobs sit in one row beside a Sweep display. Two dots show the left and right delays crossing, while the shaded area shows how much range Depth adds.

The display follows the actual audio modulator. At Mix zero, the dots disappear and it simply says Off.

Presets

One, Two, and Onetwo match the original three chorus positions. Init starts at One with the effect on, so you hear something as soon as you add it.

Status

On a stereo track, the effect sums the input to mono before creating a fresh stereo image. At Mix zero, the original left and right channels pass through untouched.
