Welcome to the world of rich stereo sound with the CH4D plugin from developer J1000. This is not just another chorus effect; CH4D is a powerful tool for giving your tracks volume, depth, and unique movement. Created for musicians and sound engineers who are looking for something more than a standard chorus, CH4D offers a combination of the classic effect with innovative capabilities.
What is CH4D?
CH4D is a VST plugin designed as a high-quality stereo chorus. It is based on the principle of signal delay followed by modulation of the delay time. However, CH4D takes this principle to a new level thanks to its architecture and additional features.
Key features of CH4D
- Stereo architecture: The plugin processes a stereo signal, providing a wide and voluminous sound. It is ideal for creating spatial effects on guitars, synthesizers, and other stereo sources.
- 4 delay lines: Unlike many classic choruses that use 2 delay lines, CH4D has 4 separate lines (2 for each stereo channel). This allows you to create a denser, richer, and more complex chorus effect, which can sound like an ensemble of instruments.
- Customizable resonant filters: Each delay line is equipped with its own resonant filter. This is an extremely powerful function that allows you to shape the timbre of the signal passing through the chorus. You can emphasize certain frequencies, add “wateriness,” or even create unique tonal textures that go beyond the usual chorus. The resonance of the filters can be adjusted, opening up a wide range of sound possibilities.
- Advanced LFO: The modulation of the delay time in CH4D is carried out using an advanced low-frequency oscillator (LFO). This LFO has a less obvious and repetitive character than traditional waveforms (sine, triangle). This means that the modulation sounds more organic, unpredictable and lively, avoiding the monotony that may be present in standard choruses.
Why use CH4D?
- Sound enrichment: Instantly adds volume and width to your instruments.
- Unique modulation: Advanced LFO provides unusual and interesting sound movement.
- Tonal flexibility: Resonant filters allow you to “paint” the chorus effect, adapting it to your mix.
- Dense effect: 4 delay lines create a rich and full chorus.
CH4D is ideal for processing:
- Guitars (both clean and with effects).
- Synthesizers (pads, leads, arpeggios).
- Vocals (for volume and presence).
- Any other instruments that need stereo expansion and modulation.
The CH4D plugin from J1000 is more than just a chorus. It is a tool for creative sound shaping that offers a unique combination of the classic effect with modern tonal control capabilities and advanced modulation. If you are looking for a way to make your tracks more vibrant, voluminous and original, CH4D is definitely worth your attention.
The plugin is available for Windows (Win32) operating systems in VST format.
