Chapter 7 Digital Chorus

Question 1

Depth

Answer 1

A control which determines the chorus unit’s impact on the incoming signal. Depth is typically
measured in percentage.

Question 2

Delay Time

Answer 2

The initial (unmodulated) amount of time between the dry and wet signal.

Question 3

Digital Chorus

Answer 3

An effect which is created by constantly modulating the delay time of a delay unit from 15-35 milliseconds. The human ear perceieves a change in pitch as this modulation occurs, and thus a thicker, warmer sound.

Question 4

Mix

Answer 4

A control which determines how much chorused (effected) signal exits the chorus unit’s outputs, and how much dry (uneffected) signal exits the chorus unit’s outputs. When the chorus unit is connected to a mixer’s aux sends and returns, mix should be set to 100% wet, which is entirely effected signal.

Question 5

Rate

Answer 5

The speed at which the delay time is modulated (changed). Chorus rate is measured in Hertz (Hz), which tells the number of times per second the delay time changes from its shortest time to its longest time and back again.
