The chorus that changed the game
The original Dimension D, introduced in the late '70s, offered an ultra-simple solution to the problem of spaciousness in a mix.

For many producers, however, it transcended its original purpose.

Chorus adds subtle swirls and slow pitch modulation for a range of rich moving textures - but the Dimension became a go-to sonic sweetener. Something that simply made things sound broader, warmer and better-suited to a rich stereo mix.

This was thanks to the synergy between the BBD architecture, delicate compression, expansion & filtering, and a unique stereo wet/dry crossmix. Each feature has been carefully reconstructed in plugin form, component by component, for your virtual studio.

Beauty in simplicity - Sometimes, less is more.
Undoubtedly one of the standout features of Chorus DIMENSION-D is the simple 4-mode operation. No menu-diving, no in-depth parameter tweaking: what you see is what you get.

Modes 1-3 offer fixed variations on modulation rate and depth. Mode 4 can then be used in conjunction with 1-3 for increased wet signal level.

Instant analog chorus, from soft shimmer to animated waviness.

Choose from a selection of 8 curated presets for a taste of the iconic sounds that put this effect on the map.

A touch of color
The magic of the dual LFO & dual Phasor setup really comes into its own with the elaborate routing options.

The idea behind the chorus effect is simple; the pitch of your signal is modulated by an LFO and mixed in with your dry sound. Chorus DIMENSION-D represents a unique take on this concept, not only altering the stereo spread of the modulated/dry signals, but coloring the sound in its own distinct way.

A common and much-loved side effect of BBD circuitry is the warm, smooth character of the output signal. In addition, a built-in compressor/expander feature discretely alters the saturation and dynamic response of your sound. This emulation simply wouldn't be the same without these subtleties - so we incorporated them into the process from day one.

Multi-dimensional Chorus
Make this legendary modulation effect your own.

While Chorus DIMENSION-D's beauty lies in its simple operation, we've added a few optional enhancements

Oscillator shape
Choose from 5 LFO shapes for unique stereo movement; triangle (default), sine, ramp, sample & hold, and sample & glide. Perfect for adding movement to static pads or backing vocals.

Dynamic color
Manipulate the unique compressor/expander algorithm for subtle variations in attack, decay and grit on the output signal. Try it on a punchy drum loop or popping guitar line to hear the fine changes in saturation and dynamics.

Plugin modes
Operate Chorus DIMENSION-D in mono, mono to stereo, or full stereo mode - make it as simple, authentic, or comprehensive as you want.

Stereo width
SuShrink the stereo spread or stretch it beyond 100% with the Width control, which cuts or boosts the left/right levels. Crank it to the max for head-spinning immersion.

Wet/dry mix
A familiar control for modulation and ambient effects, added for you to adapt Chorus DIMENSION-D to your own creative needs.

Arturia's advanced features enhancing the original unit:
• Choose from 4 additional oscillator (LFO) shapes
• Dynamic Color control subtly tweaks the saturation and tonal response
• Stereo Width parameter gives you more control over the left/right crossmix
• Emulated Send Mode and dry/wet mix control options
