Subject:Re: Clone chorus/vibrato

I have a really old Yamaha D1500 which, at the time, was considered a
very good digital delay.
I remember one day many moons ago when I accidentally stumbled onto
one of the chorus settings and thinking it would make a great C3
setting for an organ.
I'm going to break that thing out of retirement and put it in-line
with the SE and see what I get. It sure as heck can't be any worse.
If I get anything close I'll post the settings so the rest of the
folks on the list can tweak their own effects accordingly.
I guess sampling sound and attempting to recreate an effect are two
different types of modeling. But, I'm with you, how hard can it be
to make a chorus sound. There are no magnets or wheels to deal with.
It's a simple technical operation. Even if you recreated the entire
process I'd think it would be real simple. Maybe not?
The current technology is amazing in the things that can be done with
keyboards and recordign equipment.

I'd sure sign up for a pedal that recreated the Vibrato and Chorus
settings of a B3.
OTOH, if I were going to spend a lot of R&D money to get that Hammond
sound and I wasn't too worried about an incidental effect like chorus
I'd probably cut that corner, too. That's almost like leaving a
couple of drawbars out to keep the R&D cost down.
Isn't a clone supposed to be an identical replica of the original?
Chuck
