6. CHORUS Function
The CHORUS parameter determines whether the Chorus is active or bypassed
for the current preset.
The LEVEL 1 par ameter d eter mines the volume of Voice 1 in r elation to Voice 2.
The DIR /EFF MIX par ameter in the Mixer function also d eter mines the Chor us
level.
PAN 1 par ameter allows y ou to pan Voice 1 to the left or r ight channel.
The DEPTH 1 par ameter ad justs the amount of mod ulation of the Voice 1 signal.
A lower depth setting will produce a more subtle detune effect, while a higher
setting will pr od uce a mor e extr eme d etuning of Voice 1.
The R ATE 1 par ameter d eter mines 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 mil-
lisecond s) for Voice 1. This d elay ed signal (along with Voice 2) is d etuned 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 CHOR US function is available if y ou have selected it in the MODULATION EFX Function.
The Chor us effect in the UTOPIA G20 0 B is pr od uced by using two d elay ed signals (Voice 1 and
Voice 2), d etuning these d elay ed signals (slightly changing their pitch), then mod ulating the d etune ef-
fect so that the amount of pitch detune is constantly varying. Using different detune amounts, modula-
tion 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:
