Studio D Chorus
-
Beautiful subtle modulation and movement for every track.
Introduced in 1979, the Roland Dimension D* chorus is famous for injecting spatialization, and sweet, subtle modulation. Used as a “secret sauce” by everyone from Brian Eno to Stevie Ray Vaughan, this legendary rack piece is an ideal example of functional simplicity.
The Studio D Chorus plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces is an exacting emulation of this sought-after rack unit, deftly capturing its musical bucket-brigade circuit, the key to its complex range of sounds and textures.Now You Can:
Add subtle spatial effects and movement to instruments and buses
Easily open up background vocals, strings, and more
Use the “all buttons” mode for an extra shade of space and depth
Enhance tracks and add pop and interest without obviously effecting signals
Take A Listen
Enter the Bucket Brigade
Whereas most analog bucket-brigade chorus circuits work with 512 or even fewer delay stages, the Studio D Chorus plug-in captures the original hardware’s whopping 1024 stages per channel. This design offers complex modulation that fattens the stereo image in very “non-chorus” fashion.
Four Buttons and the Truth
With four push-buttons as its only controls, the Studio D Chorus plug-in perfectly captures the iconic hardware’s understated elegance. Each button gives you four different levels of effect intensity. Engage all four buttons at once, and you get one more tantalizing modulation choice. Like with the hardware, the buttons can used be in any combination for a large sonic palette.
Strength in Subtlety
Like the iconic hardware, the Studio D Chorus plug-in does not create a dramatically new sound — it enhances it. You can make simple guitar/vocal arrangements wider, deeper, and more interesting, or quickly gel groups of strings and vocals — without compression, EQ, or reverb. For floating guitar textures and synth pads, the Studio D Chorus plug-in simply can’t be beat. Ultimately, the Studio D Chorus plug-in’s utterly unique character on nearly any source make it an essential tool for every engineer’s toolkit.

Since I would not been able to afford the original unit when it came out, I feel fortunate to even have any access. This plugin sounds great.

Chorus that doesn't sound like a chorus
I don't know any other plug in that do this. Awesome!
F. Carvalho
Killer!
This tool simply adds a nice depth and width that I couldn't find in any other chorus before. I like to use in parallel too.
Idk exactly how it works as it only has a few buttons to change the "taste", but it does a great job. I recommend.
Thanks UA!B. Telkamp
5 Star Chorus
Used it on a synth bass. Instantly giving it a smoother, more lush sound.
M. Bramley
the Dimension D is Analog excellence!
I'm from London.....use it and you 'feel' the magic!....and that's from an old engineer that remembers DECCA,Abbey Road, Trident 'LET YOUR EARS DECIDE!'
Many thanks Universal Audio guys!M. Hercog
Ultimate vocal widener
It‘s the best plugin to made wide modern sounding vocal. Before owning it I tried with various plugins from Waves but there is no plugin as this for that fat wide vocal.

A new Dimension
A pleasure, your mixes come alive and open in space. A new dimension.
R. Gun
not so good emulation
Yes there is a similarity, but A-B-ing the smothness of the analog is not there.
The real thing has no audible swirl or phasing charakter, the plugin does quite notable.
And by the way the former called Roland ones where better.
On the other hand, try to get the original - not so easy.
