Description
HY-ChoFla by HY-Plugins is a dual-mode modulation effect that combines a chorus and flanger in a single plugin. Toggle between modes with a two-way switch, and each section loads its own dedicated parameter set instantly.
The chorus mode offers independent depth controls for two delay lines, giving you fine-tuned command over the modulation character. Rate, feedback with polarity inversion, stereo width via LFO phase offset, and adjustable minimum delay time round out the controls.
The flanger mode provides two distinct flanging algorithms along with rate, depth, feedback, polarity, and width parameters. Both modes share a selectable LFO waveform section with output smoothing, keeping modulation shapes musical rather than harsh.
A one-pole highpass/lowpass filter processes only the wet signal, letting you shape the tonal color of the effect without touching your dry sound. Separate dry and wet level knobs provide precise mix balance control.
Users frequently compare the chorus sound to classic Boss CE-2 pedal tones, praising its warm, vintage character. The flanger section draws similar comparisons to Boss BF-2 pedal-style flanging, making this a solid choice for producers who want classic stompbox modulation inside their DAW.
HY-ChoFla runs as a 32-bit and 64-bit VST plugin on Windows. CPU usage sits in the 4-8% range on a single core, keeping it lightweight enough for multiple instances across a session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the chorus and flanger modes in HY-ChoFla?
The chorus mode uses two delay lines with independent depth controls, a stereo width parameter, and adjustable minimum delay time. The flanger mode offers two distinct flanging algorithms with a single depth control. Both modes share rate, feedback, polarity, and LFO waveform controls, but each is optimized for its specific effect type.
Can I sync HY-ChoFla's modulation rate to my DAW tempo?
Yes. Both the chorus and flanger modes include a BPM sync switch labeled "S" that locks the LFO rate to your host DAW's tempo. This makes it easy to create rhythmic modulation effects that stay in time with your track.
Does HY-ChoFla support macOS or 64-bit only operation?
HY-ChoFla is available for Windows only, in both 32-bit and 64-bit VST formats. There is no macOS, AU, VST3, or AAX version available.
How does the filter section work in HY-ChoFla?
The filter is a one-pole highpass/lowpass filter that processes only the wet signal. This lets you remove low-end rumble or tame high-frequency content from the modulated signal without altering your original dry sound.
