Chorust: Vintage Chorus Plugin with Lo-Fi and Ladder Filters by BeatSkillz

BeatSkillz says Chorust takes its inspiration from classic hardware chorus units and updates that design with lo-fi and filter controls. The lo-fi parameters are aimed at sculpting spaciousness and depth, which the developer ties to the soft, silky chorus sound found on many 70s and 80s records.

The ladder filters are the main addition beyond a standard chorus. Ladder filters are known for a smooth, musical response, and here they let you change the timbre and frequency content of the signal. That gives the effect a more colored, vintage quality than a clean modulation effect.

Chorust combines modulation, width and filter adjustments in one plugin. The developer describes its controls as intuitive, so you can dial in the amount of modulation and stereo width while shaping the tone with the filter section.

Because the plugin works as an insert effect in a DAW, it fits into a standard mixing chain. Use it on pads, keys, guitars or other sources where a chorus is wanted, and adjust the lo-fi and filter settings to taste.
