Chorus
•Named because it makes one instrument sound like many.  Fills up the sonic space in a song
•A chorus is merely a flanger with longer delay times (and usually no feedback)
•The following parameters determine the sound from a flanger
–Delay - The minimum amount of time the signal is delayed. (20-30 ms).
–Sweep depth (width) - How wide the sweep is in terms of delay time. i.e. the maximum additional delay time added as the LFO is swept (0 to 10 ms)
–Speed – the frequency of the LFO
•Extreme settings will create a vibrato – pitch warble
