Chorus D vs PaSSBot

Chorus D is an audio unit effect inspired by a well-loved classic chorus stomp-box. HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CHORUS EFFECTS? It's more subtle. It has a stereo pair of pitch-shifters, one shifts up and the other down. Every few seconds, the two pitch shifters trade places: the high one goes low and the low one goes high. Unlike most other chorus effects, the pitch-shift amounts stay constant rather than oscillating up and down. For that reason, you don't hear the wavy pitch sound that other chorus effects make. At low settings, you can put it on a track to widen the stereo image or thicken up the sound and listeners may not be able to identify that they are hearing a chorus effect. WHY ONLY SIX BUTTONS? The original hardware that inspired this design had only four buttons and four presets, one for each button.* The simplicity of the controls is one of the reasons the effect was so well-liked: all four presets sounded great. With six buttons you get tones ranging from very subtle to clearly audible, and all of them are tasteful and useful. This effect makes only one type of sound but it's a unique sound that you don't get from other chorus effects. IS THIS AN EXACT CIRCUIT MODEL OF THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE EFFECT? No. We listened to the original and studied its design but then we built an effect to please our own ears. It sounds similar to the original but the design is unique. ************************************ Note: this is an audio unit plugin. It does not process audio as a standalone app. *Later on customers figured out that they could get some other settings by pressing two buttons simultaneously or forcing all the buttons off. We are using six buttons to get wider variety of sounds rather than expecting customers to discover those secret features of the original hardware.

PaSSBot is a unique stochastic filter bank audio processor. The desktop VST/AU version of PaSSbot has already arrived in February 2020 and this iOS version is equivalent to the latest version 2.1. PaSSBot filter types are Biquad, StateVariableFilter, Ladder, SEM and Resonators. With behaviors of bandpass, Lo + Hipass, Notch and up to 64 of them in true stereo ! The user can set values of center frequency, gain and resonance of the each filter, which will be then eloborated with powerful stochastic generators ( 4 independent GENs for each filter ) with continuous or discrete probabilistic distributions but also with standard waveforms. One can set each filter parameters individually, but also distribute them in harmonic order, again the harmonic spread ratio can be set by the user or even can be modulated by a GEN. Precision DSP rendering, less than 1milisec. control rate precision. The filters can run continuously or be triggered manually. In that case, each filter will be applied an independent AR envelope with configurable random duration. Important notes : - A recent iPAD model is being recommended and also setting the host buffer size to 128 or higher greatly helps to the CPU needs which also heavily depends on the number of parallel filters being used. - The resonators can be sensitive to input signal level. - The PaSSBot manual can be found at this link. https://www.sonic-lab.com/PaSSBot_files/PassBot_manual.pdf sonicLAB PaSSBot youtube playlist : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP0cOkraQHDYUoMG6BETTN1eGm-Kq5z0T
