WingMen
Key Features
- Eight chorus algorithms based on Morphoice's Juno-6, JX-8P, and D-50-inspired synth engines
- Juno-style Mode I, Mode II, and combined-button chorus flavors for lush ensemble movement
- JX-8P-style stereo chorus for glossy 80s polysynth width
- D-50-inspired Chorus 1, Chorus 2, and Dimension algorithms for cleaner digital spaciousness
- Balance, Stereo Width, Noise, Rate, Depth, and Delay controls for deeper shaping than the source hardware sections
- Low-cut and high-cut filters for cleaning up the processed signal inside the plugin
- Cross-platform VST3 support with AU support on macOS
Description
WingMen is a vintage-style chorus effect that puts eight Roland-inspired chorus algorithms into one focused plugin. It pulls the chorus sections from Morphoice's larger synth emulations so producers can add Juno-6, JX-8P, and D-50-style width without loading a full instrument.
The plugin covers the Juno-style Mode I, Mode II, and combined-button sound, the glossy JX-8P stereo chorus, and three D-50-derived digital modes including Dimension-style widening. Unlike a one-button chorus clone, WingMen exposes Balance, Stereo Width, Noise, Rate, Depth, Delay, low-cut, and high-cut controls for shaping the movement around the source.
Use it when a synth, guitar, vocal, bass, or drum bus needs instant 80s spread and color rather than transparent modulation. The noise control and filter pair make it easy to lean into the modeled vintage character or keep the effect cleaner in a modern mix.
Morphoice lists WingMen v1.2.0 as a free Gumroad release for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The official page provides VST3 builds for all three platforms, AU for macOS, Apple Silicon support on Mac, and 64-bit-only requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is WingMen only useful on synthesizers?
No. The modeled chorus circuits come from classic synth designs, but the effect can be inserted on any DAW track that benefits from stereo thickening or modulation. It is especially natural on pads, keys, guitars, vocals, and bass lines.
How many chorus styles are included?
WingMen includes eight algorithms across three Roland-inspired families. The official page lists Juno-6-style modes, a JX-8P-style chorus, and D-50-style Chorus and Dimension algorithms.
Can the vintage noise be controlled?
Yes. Morphoice exposes a Noise control, so the modeled analog character is not locked at one setting. The low-cut and high-cut filters also help keep the wet signal cleaner when the full vintage texture is too much for a mix.
Does WingMen provide more control than the original chorus sections?
Yes. The source instruments used simple chorus buttons, while WingMen adds Balance, Stereo Width, Rate, Depth, Delay, Noise, and filtering controls. That makes it easier to match the movement to a specific part or arrangement.
