CHORUS Function
The CHORUS parameter determines whether the Chorus is active or by-
passed 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.
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.

The CHORUS function is available only in configurations displaying "CHR" in the configuration
title.
The Chorus effect in the UTOPIA G100 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 knob will allow you to access these CHORUS parameters:
