About

D

Read full description

D-Chorus is a BBD-style spatial chorus for iPhone and iPad. Use it as a standalone audio app or insert the included AUv3 effect in a compatible host such as GarageBand. Designed for width with minimal audible pitch wobble, D-Chorus combines very slow, shallow modulation with opposite-phase left and right movement. Its four modes range from subtle widening to a deep, expansive chorus that feels more like space than an obvious sweep. FEATURES - Four vintage spatial-chorus modes - Opposite-phase left and right modulation - Equal-power Depth dry/wet blending - Width control from mono to hyper-wide - Adjustable input gain from -12 to +12 dB - BBD-style delay and compander behavior - Optional 2x and 4x oversampling - Standalone iOS/iPadOS app - AUv3 audio effect for compatible hosts TRY BEFORE UNLOCKING The app provides 10 minutes of full-featured active use, shared between the standalone app and AUv3 extension. Demo time advances only while audio is actively processing. A one-time, non-consumable In-App Purchase unlocks unlimited use in both formats. Restore Purchases is available in the standalone app. D-Chorus is suited to synthesizers, guitars, vocals, electric piano, and pads that need stable dimension and stereo depth.

Verdict

The call

D and Reel2 are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
