Stereo chorus is a time-based modulation effect that duplicates an input signal, applies slight pitch variations and delays to the copies, and pans them across the stereo spectrum. This creates the illusion of multiple sources playing together, generating a shimmering, thickened texture and a widened acoustic field. It is frequently assigned to polyphonic synths and chordal layers to broaden their physical footprint in a mix.
How the songs in the archive use it
In Sunflower by Post Malone, the onboard Mode II stereo chorus of a Roland Juno-106 is applied to the main chord progression to generate expansive spatial width while leaving the stereo center open for lead vocals.
How to do it in Logic Pro
Stereo chorus thickens and widens an audio source by blending pitch-modulated delay copies across the stereo field. Use it on guitars, synths, or backing vocals to add dimension and shimmering movement.
Insert Chorus on the audio or software instrument channel strip.
Adjust Rate to govern the speed of the pitch modulation.
Set Intensity to control the depth of the pitch variation.
Balance Mix between the dry and modulated signal.
