Native Instruments Choral

CHORAL takes sonic inspiration from some of the most prized chorus effects of the last 40 years – including iconic rack-mount and synth-based ‘unison’ effects. Add width, movement, sheen, and shimmer to any signal, or take advantage of an all-new feedback mode, Scatter. It avoids the unpleasant metallic quality of heavy feedback settings in traditional designs, instead creating an entirely new reverb-like effect.

IN THE MODE

CHORAL has four sound modes, each with a distinct character.

• UNIVERSAL offers a clean modern digital sound, while three are inspired by classic hardware choruses.
• SYNTH mode takes its sonic lead from a series of 80s synthesizers, famous for their lush ‘unison’ chorusing function.
• ENSEMBLE mode is reminiscent of the BBD (bucket brigade device) chorus section of one of the most prized string synths of the late 70s.
• DIMENSION references the sound of a truly legendary early 80s rackmount chorus.

CHORUS CONTROL

The unifying factor of all the classics that inspired CHORAL is that they featured little, if any, customization options. On, Off, and Type, were typically the only controls. CHORAL, on the other hand, offers many custom parameters.

The number of chorus voices can be set progressively from one to three, the sync rate can be manually altered, as can the modulation rate, amount, mix, delay time, stereo width, and feedback (the latter offering an entirely new routing option, called Scatter).
