Chorus
The NOVA System Chorus offers a full range of
parameters allowing you to create from simple classic
chorus sounds to the more exotic types.
The basic idea of a chorus effect is to split the signal and
pitch modulate one of the signals slightly, then mix the
two signals again.
Speed
Range: 0.050 Hz to 20 Hz
This parameter sets the speed of the effect.
Tempo
Range: Disable, 1 to 1/32T (T=Triplet & D=Dotted)
When set to any value between 2 and 1/32T, the NOVA
System’s Global Tempo is subdivided according to this
setting. When set to “Ignore”, the speed set by the Speed
parameter is used instead.
The Tap Master parameter – located in the Utility
menu – specifies whether the Global tempo or the
tempo set by the Speed parameter in each preset
should be used at preset change.
Depth
Range: 0 to 100%
The Depth parameter specifies the intensity of the effect.
The value represents the amplitude of the modulating
waveform.
Hi-Cut
Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
This parameter reduces the high-end frequencies in the
Chorus effect. Try using this parameter if you feel the
Chorus effect is too dominant in your sound and turning
down the Mix or Out level doesn’t give you the
dampening of the Chorus effect you are looking for.
Cho Dl – Chorus Delay
Range: 0 to 50 ms
As described earlier, a Chorus/Flanger is basically a
Delay being modulated by an LFO. This parameter
allows you to change the length of that Delay.
A typical Chorus uses Delays at approximately 10 ms,
while a Flanger uses Delays at around 0.8 ms.
Mix
Range: 0 to 100%
This parameter sets the relationship between the dry
signal and the level of the effect in this Effect Block.
