03In depth

Smooth and Glass modes for two chorus characters

The two modes give Flex Chorus a range of tones. Smooth mode is built around how human hearing perceives frequency, and the developer describes it as producing a deep, rich sound. Glass mode uses a multi-stage approach aimed at shimmering stereo effects.

The voice count controls the density of the effect. Two voices suit a light chorus, while higher counts push toward massive unison and super-wide textures. Each voice configuration adjusts internal settings, so the plugin is tuned for each count rather than simply adding copies.

Per-voice randomization, BPM sync and the stereo delay tap display help you see and time the movement across the field.

Multi-band filtering and workflow

Multi-band and filter modes let you keep the chorus where it belongs. You can leave the low end untouched while applying the effect to the upper frequencies, which is useful for keeping bass solid in a mix.

The lush feedback option adds detuned tails or resonant spaces, depending on the style you select. Built-in tooltips explain the controls inside the plugin, which helps when you are learning the interface.
