Rocktron VooDu Valve - Manual (Page 30)

The CHORUS function is available only in configurations displaying “CRS” in the
configuration title.
The Chorus effect in the Voodu Valvedddd is produced by using two delayed signals
(Voice 1 and Voice 2), detuning these delayed signals (slightly changing their pitch), then
modulating the detune effect so that the amount of pitch detune is constantly varying.
Using different detune amounts, modulation rates, modulation depths and pan settings for
each delayed signal will produce a greater perceived spaciousness.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these CHORUS parameters:
CHORUS Function
The CHORUS I/O parameter determines whether the Chorus is active
or bypassed for the current preset.
The LEVEL 1 parameter determines the volume of Voice 1 in relation
to Voice 2. The DIR/EFF MIX parameter in the Mixer function also
determines the Chorus level.
The PAN 1 parameter allows you to pan Voice 1 to the left or right
channel.
The DEPTH 1 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of the Voice
1 signal. A lower depth setting will produce a more subtle detune effect,
while a higher setting will produce a more extreme detuning of Voice 1.
The RATE 1 parameter determines the sweep speed (or the speed at
which Voice 1 is modulated). Lower parameter settings will result in
slower speeds, while higher settings will result in faster speeds.
The DELAY 1 parameter allows you to select the minimum delay time
(in milliseconds) for Voice 1. This delayed signal (along with Voice 2)
is detuned and modulated to produce the chorus effect. Using shorter
delay times will result in a tighter sounding chorused signal, while
longer delay times will produce a larger ambient effect.
The LEVEL 2 parameter determines the volume of Voice 2 in relation
to Voice 1.
