Blue Cat Releases Chorus 2 DX/VST Plug-In

Blue Cat's Music Software has updated Blue Cat's Chorus to v2 beta, including a new powerful skinning engine that allows the user to customize the user interface. The product is bundled with 3 default skins, and a tutorial is available online to learn to create new skins.

The Chorus effect was originally designed to simulate several voices: just as if several persons were playing together the same notes but with a variable delay between them. This is the effect you get with Blue Cat's Chorus when setting the rate parameter to a small value. But this plug-in also enables you to drastically change your sound and produce strange pitch modulation or crazy 'bubbles' effects. From a light ensemble effect to a deep destructive modulation effect, Blue Cat's Chorus can do it.

The built-in Blue Cat's skinning engine enables you to skin this plug-in: adapt the user interface to your needs and customize the look of your Blue Cat's plugin. 3 skins are included in the install package.
