Description
Chorus GAS by Stone Voices is a modulation effect plugin that takes an unconventional approach to chorus, flanger, phaser, and vibrato effects. It uses four independent delay line modules tuned to specific musical notes across the full MIDI range (C0 to G10), creating harmonically rich modulation textures impossible to achieve with conventional chorus or flanger plugins.
The MIDI-tuned delay architecture allows Chorus GAS to produce tonal choruses and flangers that imitate interval, chord, and pentatonic sound combinations. Where a typical chorus plugin offers a single modulated delay, this plugin layers four musically-tuned delay lines that interact to create complex harmonic movement.
An adjustable high-pass filter sits in the feedback loop, adding a distinctive sweeping quality that the developer describes as "reminiscent of flight." This feedback filtering creates evolving textures well suited to ambient pads and atmospheric sound design.
The plugin ships with 16 factory presets covering chorus, flanger, phaser, and vibrato variations. Group parameter editing and output level metering keep the workflow fast, while 64-bit double-precision processing ensures clean signal quality even with heavy feedback settings.
Chorus GAS runs as a VST2 or VST3 plugin on Windows in both 32-bit and 64-bit hosts. The download is a compact 5 MB ZIP archive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Chorus GAS different from a regular chorus plugin?
Unlike standard chorus effects that use a single modulated delay line, Chorus GAS tunes its four delay modules to specific musical notes from the MIDI scale. This creates tonal modulation effects that follow intervals, chords, and pentatonic patterns, producing harmonic textures that conventional chorus plugins cannot replicate.
Can Chorus GAS produce standard chorus and flanger sounds?
Yes, Chorus GAS covers chorus, flanger, phaser, and vibrato effects. The 16 factory presets include conventional-sounding modulation alongside the more experimental tonal combinations. The plugin is versatile enough for both subtle widening and complex harmonic movement.
What does the high-pass filter in the feedback loop do?
The feedback loop's high-pass filter removes low frequencies from the recirculated signal, creating a distinctive sweeping quality the developer describes as "reminiscent of flight." It prevents muddy buildup when using heavy feedback and adds an airy, evolving character to the effect.
Does Chorus GAS support VST3?
Yes, Chorus GAS is available in both VST2 and VST3 plugin formats for Windows. Both 32-bit and 64-bit plugin hosts are supported.
