more on chorus

more on chorus

2016-02-22 by jim.alciere@...

So I checked some folks' chorus settings. They seem to use the preset setting. I've looked in the manual, but I can't find any definition of what AM abreviations mean--for example what does RNDHRD mean? Also, does PM mean pitch modulation? And for PM do th number 1-100 stand for anything? Just curious. One of the few difficulties with the AN1X.


Thanks for all help. It's been helpful.

Mod Freq = speed of..   ( means how often in TIme aka Rate)
 
PM = pitch modulaton
AM = amplitude modulation   ( RND = random + (soft, mid, hard) )

set mod freq around 1.50 ( just an example)
set PM to 0
and AM to zero
 gives no effect because  ModFreq isn't
 play around with the AM settings. Listen at get a feel for it.
then go and turn up for PM values. ..

Thank you everyone for your help. I also discoverd, while researching on the Internet that chorus was designed to replicate double tracking. The more sophisticated chorus pedals could sound like triple tracking, quadruple tracking and so on. I assume the 1x 2x 8x etc, refer to this. No idea what the difference is between chorus 1 and 2 is, but it's still fun to play with.

Facebook conversation with Yamaha:

These are the varying levels of the chorus' AM (amplitude modulation) effect (intensity). You have the lowest (weakest) effect level being 'Off', then 1xsft>1xmid>1x hrd>2sft>2mid>2hrd etc.

Hope this helps,

This information can be found in the Data List PDF page 8 table #4. Rnd stands for Random. With 3 flavours of it Soft, Mid and Hard.

Eg D50 had a built in chorus which is why it sounds as fat as D10, D110 with only 2 partials.

Cheers,
