One- and three-tap stereo and dual-mono choruses
Allocation Units:

Chorus is an effect which gives the illusion of multiple voices playing in unison. The effect is achieved by detuning
copies of the original signal and summing the detuned copies back with the original. Low-frequency oscillators
(LFOs) are used modulate the positions of output taps from a delay line. The delay line tap modulation causes the
pitch of the signal to shift up and down, producing the required detuning.
The choruses are available as stereo or dual mono. The stereo choruses have the parameters for the left and right
channels ganged.
Chorus 2 is a 2-PAU multi-tapped delay (3 taps) based chorus effect with cross-coupling and individual output tap
panning. Figure 1 is a simplified block diagram of the left channel of Chorus 2.
