Airwindows StereoChorus: Mac/Windows/Linux/Pi AU/VST

[jinxtigr]

TL;DW: StereoChorus is a nice basic stereo chorus.

Hi! This plugin is actually the one that kicked off the work that gave you StereoEnsemble. I got a request: please give me StereoChorus, like you used to have back in the Kagi days, I need to use it as nothing else will do.

It's a bit funny as I didn't remember it being that special. I mean, it's got some odd tricks in the interpolation, it scales according to chorus speed so all the settings feel about equally intense, but it didn't seem to me like anything that amazing, so I hadn't got round to porting it to VST and open-sourcing it.

So now I have. It's still got some of the interesting choices I made back when I coded it: for instance, it's actually running a fixed point buffer at a rather long word length. Maybe this has something to do with the sound my user wanted to have back? However, I've added a few things. It's now got modern dithering to floating point (on 32 bit busses) and I've added undersampling… so that it can sound the way it was meant to, even at elevated sample rates, while using lower CPU to do it. All in all it's not the most outrageous plugin, but you know I've got folks fond of specifically it, and so I've brought it to VST form and open-sourced it just as it was, and maybe you too will find something special in it.

As you can see I'm still experimenting with video making, and as you can see I'm still making songs and working out ways to share them. Expect the one behind this plugin demo to show up, and my time up here in northern Canada is leading to a lot of interesting ideas I'm eager to explore… some plugin, some non. More will be revealed, or so they say

Thanks for that !

Chris, have you thought about delving into the Time Stretching domain ?
I mean... you're obviously a brilliant coder, that area is something I haven't seen you touch upon...

In linux Reaper, I launched an LV2 amp, MetalTone from Herman Meyer, followed by two Stereo Chorus, set at rates of around 50 and 25 for speed and depth, but each of the four slightly different. Then added Matrix Reverb, and after some adjustments, sounds a lot like the diffusion effect found in Native Instruments Raum and Replika. Great for electric guitar among other things!

Do you have a dedicated diffusion reverb in your collection?
Thanks for these excellent plugins!

Verbity and Chamber and Galactic are all householder feedforward reverb matrices, so if you're using something called Matrix Reverb you could try those. There's also Infinity (infinite?) and Reverb, which ironically was just before I hit on the feedforward technique and ended up becoming obsolete for sounding too old school

[glokraw]

Thanks, I'll give these a try, along with some of your delays, and ones with intriguing titles
Cheers

Enjoying each of these, and gonna spend some extra time with Chamber, benefitting greatly from your video walkthrough. I like the variety and immediacy of the controls.
Cheers

I got a request: please give me StereoChorus,

I'm not really seeing the need for all the drama. Seems like the type of request Chris has received in the past and it was made in a polite manner. He did say please and thanks so....

Hey Chris,

[j wazza]
