modulation effect plug-ins that are available in
TDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite formats.
Voce Chorus/Vibrato
Voce Chorus/Vibrato recreates the mechanical
scanner vibrato found in the B-3 Organ. Three
settings of chorus and three settings of vibrato
presented on one cool knob! Fun and easy to use,
it’s a classic effect used for over sixty years.
How Voce Chorus/Vibrato Works
In a large pipe organ, “ranks” of pipes (multiple
pipes designed to emit the same frequency)
aren’t perfectly in tune. The effect goes by
the name “multirank” or, more commonly,
“chorus.”
Inside every B-3 organ, on the end of the drive-
shaft that spins the tonewheels, you’ll find a me-
chanical contraption that delays the sound of
the organ. Originally added to make the B-3
sound more like a pipe organ, it imparts fre-
quency variation to the sound.
Although well received by churches, the signa-
ture B-3 Chorus/Vibrato graced jazz and rock
recordings ever since. Now you can use this
beautiful effect on any instrument.
Voce Chorus/Vibrato Controls
Simply click the Big Knob to rotate between set-
tings of Vibrato and Chorus. V1 provides the
least amount of vibrato, V2 slightly more, and
V3 the most. Likewise the amount of Chorus in-
creases from C1 to C3.
Option-Click the knob to rotate it in the oppo-
site direction, or click the lettering to select a
specific setting.
Voce Chorus/Vibrato Tips and
Tricks
The classic setting for organ is “C3” but you’ll
find other settings useful on a variety of instru-
ments. Some of our favorites include:
Electric Pianos
Many electric pianos feature built-in vibrato.
But if the sound you’re using doesn’t provide a
realistic vibrato (perhaps you’re wrestling with
a sampler), track dry and apply the effect later.
