D Chorus is a lush, three-dimensional stereo chorus and pitch studio — the warmth of classic 1970s and 80s rack hardware, rebuilt for your DAW. A stereo bucket-brigade chorus pairs with a vintage-voiced digital pitch shifter, modelled from the circuit behaviour up so you get the character without the noise, the upkeep, or the rack space.
It's not a clone of any one box. It's a faithful emulation of the techniques and circuit behavior that made the classic units sing — a stereo bucket-brigade chorus for width and movement, and a separate pitch-shift block for thickening, detuning, and transforming sounds.
Two modulated delay lines move in opposite phase to create that signature ultra-wide, dimensional image — subtle enough for a finishing polish, lush enough to wash a whole mix in it.
A separate pitch-shifting block built for the classic digital pitch-shift gestures — lush detunes, dramatic dives, robotic and spiral textures.
Push Feedback past unity and the pitch shifter self-oscillates into endless rising or falling pitch spirals — a continuously ascending or descending illusion.
Barely-there thickening for a finishing polish.
The classic wide, shimmering ensemble sweet spot.
Stronger movement and a fuller stereo spread.
Deep, swirling movement — wash a whole mix in it.
A companding stage that "breathes" like the real circuits, a modeled delay-chip character, and proper anti-alias and reconstruction filtering give you true vintage tone — the character of bucket-brigade hardware without the hiss, the upkeep, or the rack space.
Companding · delay-chip model · anti-alias / reconstructionWidth pushes the image from natural to enormous, while a built-in mono-safe low end keeps your bass anchored in the center so it never collapses on a club system or a phone speaker. The two opposite-phase delay lines do the dimensional work; the low-end guard keeps it translation-proof.
Opposite-phase delays · mono-safe bass · translation-proofCharacter dials in the companding and delay-chip color; Lo-Fi takes it from pristine and modern all the way to grainy, saturated vintage grit. Together they cover everything from a clean modern sheen to a tape-worn, lo-fi wash.
Character · Lo-Fi · clean → gritA library of starting points covering classic chorus tones, ensemble detunes, and the signature pitch-and-feedback effects producers have leaned on for generations — from a subtle key-thickener to a full runaway spiral.
The wide, shimmering Mode 2 sweet spot on guitars and keys.
Detune voice up for that rich "two takes at once" thickness.
Feedback past unity for an endless falling-pitch runaway.
A vintage-inspired interface with smooth, glowing controls and live input/output metering. True bypass, full host automation on every parameter, and a clean, low-noise signal path — character when you want it, transparent when you don't.
