Chorus is one of the most-requested features I’ve seen mentioned here for Syntakt, especially for the SY Chord machine. I wanted to post a just-in-case how-to for anyone who hadn’t tried out making a chorus with the delay and FX block LFO:
Basic Chorus on Syntakt:
DELAY TIME: ~2.00 (1.00-4.00)
FX LFO1
DEST: DEL TIME
DEPTH: ~0.10 (0.05-0.30)
DELAY SEND: ~75-127
(track or fx block)
for 20-50ms delay, at 120bpm
DELAY TIME 1.00 = 16ms
DELAY TIME 4.00 = 63ms
I posted a quick video with chorus (and flanger and phaser) how-to and demo sounds, with on-screen parameters for some variations.
I know it’d also be nice to have a chorus plus delay and reverb like on A4 and Digitone, but I think this way is pretty flexible and well worth experimenting with.
Anyone have strategies for improving on it further? Additional applications for chorus? Interesting strategies for increasing the stereo dimension?
