Studio D Chorus

Get rich texture and shimmer with legendary studio hardware.

Add Thickness and Width to Anything
Just like the vintage hardware, use Studio D Chorus' push buttons in any combination for a colorful palette of subtle thickening. Engage all four buttons at once and you get a beautiful chewy modulation texture that works on any instrument.

Use it for analog widening. And to give a sense of room without a reverb plugin.

P. Lambert
Lacks functionality
Sounds good but lacks some basic functionality. Why have they not added a wet/dry knob like other competing brands such as Arturia? For example instead of just being able to insert on a lead vocal you need to send it to an aux and once you turn up the chorus it swallows your other ambience auxs. would be much simpler to insert on your track and blend to taste. Get with the times uad.

Good.....but could be better
The Studio Chorus D sounds good, width, depth etc are acceptable but I feel UA could of done better, especially compared to the competition from Arturia which sounds much wider, fuller and gives alot more flexibility. I hold UA in high esteem in the software market, so hopefully they can take this as a challenge, make a revision of the dimension d and elevate this product beyond its competitors reach! Overall good job, but room for improvement!

For me is amazing using it in a subtle way, so I need to put it in auxiliary send track because it doesn’t have a mix knob. That’s why I’m only giving it 4 stars.U. Juhl

Doesn't sound like the previous Roland Dimension D plugin
A while ago I tried the Roland Dimension D plugin. Now I went to buy it and it turns out that it is no longer the Roland, but another version called Studio D chorus, which does not sound like the original Roland plugin. You can try the original Roland plugin for 12 days, and I have compared the two, the original Roland Dimension D plugin, and the Studio D Chorus, and the original sounds much better, it is much more open and has a beautiful stereo effect, which which I can't get with the new model. I want the original back. The new model does not work for me nor do I like it so much

Uad everything
Another classic Uad plugin for the toolbox
R. Fiuza
Magnificent!
I got this plug-in mainly for widening the sound of a poly classic synth that has only mono out and I’m amazed how fat and clear it sounds, it is as good as hardware.
D. Groulx
Easy as 1-2-3
great sound within seconds.
P. McWalter
Excellent piece of kit!
It does everything so nicely! Not too much, nothing ugly, just a beautiful set of options that work on so many instruments and samples. A must for all studios.

mix knob
very good plugin but still no mix knob
F. De Mari Scalone
Classic.
There's a reason you don't have a lot to tweak on this one - you don't need to.
