ATMOSYNTH

Chorus

ATMOSYNTH built-in module

Two of the same sound, one of them a little late and always moving — which is what makes one voice sound like several. There are two moving copies, one to each side, wandering opposite ways: what widens the sound is the two disagreeing. Delay is how far behind they sit, Depth how far they wander either side of that, and Rate how quickly; slow and shallow is a chorus, and a shorter delay with more depth heads towards a flanger. Nothing goes round again, so it thickens rather than repeats. Dry level is what came in, straight up the middle, Wet level the two moving copies, and Spread how far apart they are placed. Rate is an input as well as a knob.

Four notes played on Keys, passing through it on their way out.

What it is made of

Ports: audio input ‘In’, audio input ‘Rate’, audio output ‘Out’.

  • ‘in’: audio input · port in · into ‘dry’ · into ‘dlL’ · into ‘dlR’
  • ‘dry’: Gain · into ‘out’ · level turned by ‘Dry level’
  • ‘dlL’: Delay · longest delay 0.1 · into ‘wetL’ · delay time turned by ‘Delay (s)’
  • ‘dlR’: Delay · longest delay 0.1 · into ‘wetR’ · delay time turned by ‘Delay (s)’
  • ‘wetL’: Gain · into ‘panL’ · level turned by ‘Wet level’
  • ‘wetR’: Gain · into ‘panR’ · level turned by ‘Wet level’
  • ‘panL’: Stereo pan · into ‘out’
  • ‘panR’: Stereo pan · into ‘out’
  • ‘lfo’: Oscillator · wave sine (knob ‘Shape’) · into ‘depthgain’ · rate turned by ‘Rate (Hz)’
  • ‘depthgain’: Gain · modulates the delay time of ‘dlR’ · into ‘invert’ · level turned by ‘Depth (s)’
  • ‘invert’: Waveshaper · modulates the delay time of ‘dlL’
  • ‘spread’: Constant · into ‘spreadgain’
  • ‘spreadgain’: Gain · modulates the pan of ‘panR’ · into ‘spreadinvert’ · level turned by ‘Spread’
  • ‘spreadinvert’: Waveshaper · modulates the pan of ‘panL’
  • ‘ratein’: audio input · port rate · into ‘ratedepth’
  • ‘ratedepth’: Gain · modulates the rate of ‘lfo’ · level turned by ‘Rate amount (Hz)’
  • ‘out’: audio output · port out
  • ‘Rate (Hz)’: knob, 0.05 to 8 Hz
  • ‘Rate amount (Hz)’: knob, 0 to 4
  • ‘Shape’: knob, sine / triangle
  • ‘Delay (s)’: knob, 0.006 to 0.05 s
  • ‘Depth (s)’: knob, 0 to 0.005
  • ‘Dry level’: knob, 0 to 1
  • ‘Wet level’: knob, 0 to 1
  • ‘Spread’: knob, 0 to 1
