TriceraChorus is a stereo chorus plugin blending vintage BBD-style tri-chorus with Eventide micro-pitch detuning, offering three modes, deep modulation control, and live performance tools for rich, spatial sound design.
Purpose
TriceraChorus delivers classic chorusing inspired by tri-chorus units and stompbox choruses from the 1970s and early 1980s, combined with Eventide micro-pitch detuning. It thickens sound, adds static chorusing, or spreads the stereo field by detuning left and right signals in opposite directions. Suitable for synths, strings, vocals, guitar, bass, and more.
The plugin pairs three BBD-style delay voices modulated by a three-phase LFO, creating smooth, syrupy movement across the stereo field. Modes include Chorus for stompbox character, Chorale for lush rackmount swirl, and Swirl for psychedelic flange-like frequency shifting. This combination makes it easy to add richness and spatial depth to any track.
Key Capabilities
Core controls include Chorus Mix (from subtle to full vibrato), Depth L/C/R for per-voice modulation with individual muting, Detune up to +/- 40 cents, Delay for thickening, flanging, or slapback, Tone for shaping high and low end, and Swirl for stereo frequency shifting. These parameters allow precise sculpting of the effect.
The Ribbon control morphs the effect between two settings, while Hotswitch jumps instantly between settings; both are saved per-preset. Envelope Rate and Envelope Mix adjust modulation rate and mix based on input dynamics, enabling dynamic, performance-oriented changes. The UI is optimized for live performance and easy automation.
Workflow
Start by selecting a mode—Chorus, Chorale, or Swirl—then adjust Depth per voice and Detune to shape stereo width. Use Delay to thicken or create flanging; Tone to filter muddy lows or darken highs. The Mix knob balances effect level, from a hint to full vibrato.
For live use, set two different settings and morph between them with the Ribbon, or use Hotswitch for instant changes. Assign Envelope Rate and Mix to respond to performance dynamics. Automate any parameter for fine control; settings are saved per-preset for flexible exploration.
Practical Applications
Use TriceraChorus to thicken synth pads or strings with lush Chorale swirl, add character to vocals with subtle Chorus detuning, or create wide stereo guitars with opposite detuning and Delay. Swirl mode suits psychedelic or experimental tracks needing flange-like movement.
For bass, apply light Chorus to add depth without mud, using Tone to cut low frequencies. Use Delay for slapback or flange effects. The Ribbon is ideal for building tension by increasing modulation depth, and Envelope controls let dynamics shape the chorus naturally.
