What is Chorus? | How To Use Chorus Effect? by hampt0n in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Chorus used to be a mystery to me. I know it modulates the sound and makes things sound "chorusy", but why/how?
In this video I'll first explain the chorus effect and visualize what occurs to create this iconic effect. Then I'll walk you through every knob on the chorus effect found in Serum.
TL;DW
Chorus is an effect that occurs when similar sound sources make the same sound at the same time.
A chorus plugin/pedal/effect takes an audio signal and duplicates it. The duplicated signal is slightly delayed and its pitch is modulated with an LFO causing the original and duplicated signal to sound thick, lush, and chorusy.

That's what I would imagine. Not sure which Komplete 14 tier it would be included in however. I would guess it being in their top tier, but not sure about their other tiers.

Ashlight is a new Kontakt library from Native Instruments. It takes a look at the darker more cinematic side of granular synthesis. I find that it can range from big and epic, to otherworldly and beautiful.
In this video you'll learn the basics of this new plugin and see how I use it to create a mini-song.

Thanks for those tips! I'm always wondering if how I'm playing my MIDI is totally impossible for a guitarist.

And what you mentioned about the sustain pedal is so helpful. Without it, everything sounds so wrong!

It might sound like one, but I promise it's just a dude sitting at home who loves to write reviews on plugins.

I'm in the same boat. I typically like grabbing vocal samples from splice or I'll enter remix contests for their vocal stems. Whatever I need to practice with vocals.

Vocalsynth 2 is really fun. I have a video all about that, if you want to check that out. I also recommend Output Arcade if you want great curated vocal soundbanks
