élkorus

via audible
"TRANSLATION FROM synthoma.net
The élkorus is an analog chorus module that re-creates the legendary ensemble effect that identifies some string machines from the seventies. Emulation is not achieved with any DSP technology or software. The élkorus sounds analog because it is analog. It features three delay lines and two sinusoidal LFOs that, conveniently summed and phased out, modulate each one of the three delay lines.
Frequency is adjustable for both LFOs within a wide range (1-30 Hz for the ‘high’ LFO and 0.2-8 Hz for the ‘low’ LFO) - so is amplitude (0-max). The ‘high’ LFO has a ‘clipping’ parameter that turns the sinusoidal wave into quasi-trapezoidal. This produces a slightly grainier, older sound.

The three delay lines feature individual level and pan controls, as well as two switchable EQ settings. The pan controls allow for stereo chorus effects with far more control than the old ensemble circuits which this unit re-creates. The three delay lines are symmetrically out of phase (120 degrees). Thanks to the ‘line 2-3 phase’ switch, phase between lines 2 and 3 can be switched to 180 degrees, to emulate ensemble circuits that used only two delay lines (level should be all the way down in line 1).

By the combination of all these settings, different chorus/ensemble effects can be obtained, be them emulations of old string ensembles or new original stereo modulation effects.
