4-button operation
Explore different combinations of the 4 buttons for rate and depth variations. Beautiful, immediate chorus for every application.

Spatial enhancer
Widen your vocals, enrich your keys and stretch your guitar parts across the stereo field. Space is the aim of the game.

BBD warmth
Chorus DIMENSION-D features authentic bucket-brigade device circuitry replication for stunning warmth and subtle saturation.

Advanced controls
Tweak the LFO shape, BBD compression, and stereo width beyond the capabilities of the original unit – make it your own.

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 and filtering, and a unique stereo wet/dry crossmix. Each feature has been carefully reconstructed in plugin form, component by component, for your virtual studio.

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.

Make this legendary modulation effect your own.
While Chorus DIMENSION-D’s beauty lies in its simple operation, Arturia 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
Shrink 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.
