There are many ways in which we can add color to the music we produce. Different instrumental or vocal tracks require different effects in order to sound like we want them to or just acquire a bit of presence. One of the effects that is often used for this very purpose is the chorus.

To achieve a chorus effect, analog effect units and digital plugins mix an audio signal with more copies of itself; however, the copies are more delayed and pitch modulated versions of the original. Today, we’re going to take a look at Syntorus 2, an audio plugin that aims to create a chorus effect with a vintage analog sound.

All instruments and effect plugins from D16 Group are known for their high quality sounds and beautiful GUIs that take inspiration from various analog units of the past. Syntorus 2 is no exception, as the attention that was given to the graphic design is on par with the power and versatility of the plugin.

It’s worth mentioning that Syntorus 2 isn’t just a facelift of the original Syntorus. Now instead of two delay lines, you get three. Each line can employ its own filter, and further modulation can be achieved through the three LFOs, which can work on different scales, at different rates, and apply different waveforms.

The new mixer section allows you to control panning and volume for each delay line. One feature that was kept from the previous plugin is the Analog BBD (Bucket-Brigade Device) emulation that you can always activate if you want a warmer effect.

Syntorus 2 comes with many presets and browsing through them is easy, since the category filters can help you find a setting that you’re looking for in no time. It’s easy to recommend this plugin to anyone who wants an advanced chorus effect for their music productions.
