Hello, musician friends and sound engineers! In the world of digital audio, where innovation and experimentation reign, sometimes you want to go back to the origins, to the warm, familiar, and time-tested effects that have become classics. Such is the chorus effect – a true magic that can instantly add volume, depth, and a unique “shimmer” to any sound.
If you’re looking for a chorus plugin that combines vintage character with modern technical perfection, then Flying Chorus from SuperflyDSP is exactly what you need. Developed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, this plugin doesn’t just mimic the classic effect, it reproduces it with amazing clarity and musicality.
What is the Chorus Effect?
The chorus effect simulates the sound of several identical instruments or voices playing or singing simultaneously, but with slight, constantly changing deviations in pitch and time. In nature, this effect occurs when several musicians play the same part. A device or chorus plugin achieves this by creating one or more copies of the input signal, which are then modulated by delay and/or pitch relative to the original. The result is an expanded, rich, “fat” sound, which is especially effective for adding volume to guitars (both clean and overloaded), synthesizer pads and leads, as well as for enriching vocal parts or basses.
Flying Chorus masterfully reproduces this effect, giving your tracks that same desired analog warmth and movement that we hear on countless classic recordings.
Flying Chorus from SuperflyDSP: Features and Benefits
Let’s take a closer look at what makes Flying Chorus a special choice for your virtual studio:
Classic Sound with a Modern Character
- Flying Chorus was designed with inspiration from legendary vintage chorus pedals and studio devices. It can add that signature “sweetness” and “swaying” to your instruments that we appreciate so much in recordings from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
- Whether you need a light, barely noticeable movement for delicate pad enrichment, or a deep, underwater “bubbling” for experimental soundscapes, Flying Chorus has enough flexibility to meet your needs.
Uncompromising Technical Quality
-
Synchronization with the Host Tempo
One of the most convenient features for modern music production. Flying Chorus can synchronize its internal modulations (e.g., “swaying” speed) directly with the tempo of your DAW. This makes it easy to create rhythmically accurate effects that fit perfectly into the groove of your track, whether it’s a pulsating synth bass or a rhythmic guitar part with an effect.
-
Incredibly Low Noise Level (SNR >120dB)
This is an impressive indicator for any audio plugin. A high signal-to-noise ratio means that the plugin adds a minimum of unwanted background noise to your signal. This is especially important when working with clean instruments or when using the plugin as an insert effect on individual tracks. You get a clean, transparent chorus sound without digital “sand” or hissing.
-
No Aliasing
Aliasing is a digital artifact that can occur when processing a signal, especially at higher frequencies, and manifests as unpleasant, inharmonic overtones. Flying Chorus is designed to avoid aliasing. This ensures that the chorus effect remains smooth, natural, and musical throughout the frequency spectrum, even with intense modulation.
-
No Oversampling and Downsampling
Unlike many other plugins that use oversampling (processing a signal at a higher sampling rate to reduce aliasing) or downsampling (reducing the rate), Flying Chorus achieves its sound clarity without these methods. This not only helps to avoid potential conversion artifacts, but also makes the plugin more efficient in terms of CPU load, which is especially important when using it on multiple tracks in large projects.
Convenience and Integration
- Support for the VST3 preset saving standard ensures easy management of your favorite settings and their compatibility between different hosts.
Compatibility
SuperflyDSP has taken care of the maximum availability of Flying Chorus:
Available plugin formats:
- VST (Virtual Studio Technology) – a standard format for most DAWs on Windows and Linux, and is also supported by many hosts on macOS.
