01Overview

Triad Chorus is an effects plugin from IK Multimedia that builds on the stereo chorus of the 1980s. Instead of a single modulated voice, it runs three chorus voices at once, with independent controls for each. The developer says the design is digitally expanded while keeping an analog-like warmth and depth. It is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats for macOS and Windows, and it can run standalone or inside the T-RackS 6 plugin shell.

Sound Character and Three-Voice Design

Triad Chorus processes audio through three independent chorus voices. In stereo input mode, the left channel goes to Voice 1, the mono sum goes to Voice 2 and the right channel goes to Voice 3. This routing is meant to build a wide, moving stereo field.

Each voice has its own Amount, Rate, Phase, Pan and BPM Sync controls. The developer describes the effect as a modern take on the chorus used on many well-known recordings, with added digital expansion and tempo sync.

A Feedback control loops the processed signal back through the unit, which adds resonance and swirling, evolving textures.

Controls, Presets and Workflow

The plugin is split into three sections. The top section holds global controls: Power, Input, Output, Input Mode (Stereo or Mono) and Feedback. The middle section shows the three LFOs so you can see their amplitude, rate and phase relationship. The bottom section holds the per-voice controls.

The plugin includes 20 presets covering bass, guitar, keys, FX, voice and more, which give you starting points for each voice.
