Chorus and Phaser 
EMMANUEL LÓPEZ-PINTO
Introduction 
 Chorus, phaser and flanger effects are effects that actually are based on 
the delay. Of course, this delay effect is really small and counted with few 
milliseconds. With this small delay we can hear some differences on the 
timber or pitch of our main sound. 
 This effects have some commons uses which I am going to talk about.
Chorus 
 A chorus effect occurs when individual sounds with the same timbre and 
nearly (but never exactly) the same pitch are attached and are 
perceived as one. 
 This effect is generally used in vocals or secondary vocals, to give a new 
sense of plural singing in the main vocal or just in the background. It is very 
used as well with strings and orchestra intstruments.
These are the parameters of the 
chorus effect in FL Studio. The 
main parameters are the Delay 
in milliseconds and the LFO 
amount and wave parameters. 
LFO is Low-Frequency Oscillations 
which is effect of the modulation 
created under 20hz. These 
modulations are important to 
configure the chorus as we 
want. 
Without and with a 
common chorus effect
Phaser 
 A phaser is an electronic sound processor used to filter a signal by 
creating a series of peaks and troughs in the frequency spectrum. 
The position of the peaks and troughs is typically modulated so that 
they vary over time. 
 This effect appeared first with the guitar. Then with electronic music 
emerging, phasers start to be used in any instruments or sound or 
even vocals.
 These are the parameters of a 
phaser effect in FL Studio. The 
main ones are the sweep 
frequency and the minimum 
and maximum depth, which 
allows us to decide how big 
we want out notches.

 Before a started this course, I didn’t expect this effects to be related with 
the idea of delay. Now I understand way better how it works. Hope you 
also understood my lesson and that you liked it. Thank you very much.
