HoRNet releases Chorus60 - Vintage Keyboard Chorus Plugin

HoRNet has released Chorus60, an emulation of a very famous vintage chorus found in an 80s iconic keyboard.
When this particular keyboard was released it only had one oscillator per voice and to make the sound thicker the manufacturer used this particular kind of chorus that became the signature sound of many hits like "Sweet Dreams".
HoRNet took the original schematic, analyzed, simulated and recreated it in a plugin, and also added control for the internal chorus parameters like the LFO rate, Dry/Wet control and the chorus wideness.
The analog characteristics are reproduced, both in saturation and hiss but can be enabled or disabled independently. For the best sound quality a 2x oversampling is also provided.
The HoRNet Chorus60 is available for 10,90 Euro at www.hornetplugins.com

    Tal Audio makes a similar free chorus however this version has many other features that would give it more flexibility and more parameters you can tweak. At 10€ it seems like a pretty good deal. I'll be checking this out!

    Peace!

    Maybe more of a feature request and an observation, but the independent speed controls for chorus 1 and 2 aren't independent when both chorus are turned on, just the 1+2 speed knob that tracks both at the same time.
     
    Also, the combined chorus effect seems to be diminished in intensity and quality over either one alone, and definitely not like the original mix on the Juno (or even the simpler Tal chorus).
     
    Will look at it again in case I'm missing something, but my first impression.

    Hi, regarding chorus I+II, on the Juno is a completely different mode, it does not mean "two chorus playing simultaneously" 
    If you look at the schematic and the service notes it's clearly states that I+II transform the modulation LFO from triangle wave to sine wave and brings the frequency up to 8Hz, more, while mode I and II use and inverse phase LFO for the right signal, mode I+II use the same driving phase for both channels, thus the effect sound narrower.
     
    have a liste to this recording of the Juno 60 I+II chorus here, it's the 4th sample

    Okay, thanks for the explanation Saverio.
     
    Feature request then for the future?
     
    Have always used the Tal chorus, and it is as far as I can hear an exact replication of the Juno 60 chorus. The thick enhancement when both 1 and 2 are activated in phase is what put the etheriel effect on the Juno strings.
     
    If the speed of each unit could be manipulated independently when played together, phase inversion switch and a pan for each unit, this could be one of the best chorus devices out there.
