Overview

Roland® Dimension D Plug-In

Famous late-1970’s Bucket Brigade Chorus & Sound Enhancing Hardware, Now in Plug-In Form

The Roland Dimension D is a one-of-a-kind studio gem that adheres to the principle of doing one thing, and doing it extremely well. Its one and only function: some of the best sounding stereo chorus ever made. However, the Dimension D is more than a chorus; it is really a unique sound enhancer for adding spatial and stereo widening effects. This classic 1979 Roland device has been heard on countless records, including luminaries such as Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads and INXS. Universal Audio went to great lengths to preserve this Bucket Brigade chorus with all its unique design elements and sonic characteristics. With only four push-button “Dimension” settings, the Dimension D is the ultimate in functional simplicity.

  • Garrett "Jacknife" Lee

    (R.E.M., The Cars)

    "Wow! How did i do without it [UAD-2]? The 1073 EQ! 1176LN! Dimension D! The EMT reverbs! Fairchild 670!"

    Adam Blake

    Zoot Woman

    "The Dimension D is perfect for adding stereo width and the RE-201 Space Echo always seems to come in handy."

    Mike Shipley

    (Allison Kraus, Maroon 5)

    “I've wanted a real Dimension D for a long, long time. Now I've got one — a UAD version. I use it all the time."

    Jacquire King

    (Norah Jones, Tom Waits)

    "All the [Roland] plugs...I've used the hardware...I'm just using the plug-ins now, because they sound so good."

    Ed Cherney

    (Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Spinal Tap)

    "The Dimension D is one of my favorite plug-ins in the arsenal."

  • Vance Powell

    (The Raconteurs)

    "If you take UA's RE-201 and Dimension D plug-ins, you can kind of get a [RE-]301. Both of those plug-ins are brilliant."

    Vance Powell

    (The Raconteurs)

    "The 1073, 1176, LA-2A, LA-3A, 33609, the RE-201, the Dimension D, and the CE-1 [plug-ins]. I couldn't live without 'em"

    Killian Servais

    (SoftBeat DE)

    "A marvelous addition into the UAD portfolio."

    Ariel Borujow

    (P-Diddy, TI, Black Eyed Peas)

    "Adding a bit of the Dim D to a bass or even a lead vocal track gives some added depth and dimension just like the original box."

    Ed MacFarlane

    (Friendly Fires)

    "All the guitars are recorded through a Roland Jazz Chorus with the UAD Roland Dimension D plug-in on them."

  • Paul Vnuk, Jr.

    (Recording Magazine)

    "Once again UA has come as close to modeling the real thing [with Roland/BOSS Plug-Ins] as you are going to get ..."

    (Future Music UK)

    "In a mix, little things make a big difference – the Dimension D offers something special."

    Jonathan Wilson

    (Future Music UK)

    "The star of the Roland plug-ins is the Space Echo … but both chorus plug-ins are also excellent in their own right."

    Jason Scott Alexander

    (Remix Magazine)

    "[The Dimension D plug-in] brings the sonic character of early Peter Gabriel and Talking Heads to your door."

    Jason Scott Alexander

    (Remix Magazine)

    "The presets [on the Roland Chorus plug-ins] hit every retro nail squarely on the head."

  • Paul White

    (Sound on Sound)

    "The effect the [Roland Dimension D] plug-in produces is uncannily accurate."

    Jason Scott Alexander

    (Remix Magazine)

    "From beautifully soft and subtle to rich and organic ... the presets hit every retro nail squarely on the head."

    Great Potential
    by K. Avola (Tuesday 18 June, 2013)

    I bought this as a 'nice to have'. I have yet to use it in any production yet, but have messed around with it a bit on acoustic guitars, vocal and even drums. I think this will prove to be a niche kind of plugin, but know it will come in handy when I either want to add a hint of chorus somewhere but … Read More

    Good product but wrong purchase for me
    by D. Taylor (Sunday 16 June, 2013)

    I gave the Dimension D 3 stars not so much for it's lack, it does what it's supposed to do very well, but rather for my poor choice in purchasing this plug in. I'm kicking myself for not taking advantage of the free trial usage on this plug in before purchasing. I thought I would get more usage out … Read More

    Old Dimension!
    by B. Lederer (Saturday 15 June, 2013)

    Easy to use - great presets! Dial in and just love it! I remember the Hardware from my early days and I always fell in love with Roland unit. Great to have it back and use more than one instance on Guitars, Keyboards and Background Choir. Lovely! Thanx UA - Great work! … Read More
