An
audio treatment where the input signal is given multiple delays (20 - 45
ms.) and each delayed signal may be slightly detuned.
The effect is similar to a “chorus”
playing a unison together; i.e. they start at different
times and have subtle differences in tuning.
Chorusing
is a slightly
elaborated version
of doubling. A
signal is delayed approximately 15-35 milliseconds and mixed with the undelayed
signal. The delay time
is modulated by a low-frequency-oscillator
to achieve a shimmering
effect due to a combination
of beat-frequencies and the slight pitch-bending
that occurs as the delay time is changed.
Thus
chorusing describes what occurs when (say) several clarinets play in unison:
They do not start at the precisely the same time and they have slight pitch/vibrato
variations. |
