Audio Samplesby Instant Audio
We all know and love the rich sound of chorus. But why has the effect not been updated since, well, forever? Tetrasonic splits your signal into four independent voices and gives you full control over each one, so you can build and fine-tune your own unique chorus sound. Then it goes further: every voice gets its own effect and its own pitch, blurring the line between a classic chorus, a harmoniser and a creative multi-FX. From subtle stereo width to lush, layered soundscapes – it's all in one plugin.
Four voices, total control
A classic chorus gives you one depth and one rate for everything. Tetrasonic gives you four complete voices, each with its own settings. Set the modulation depth and rate, delay the voice against the original with OFFSET – from gentle phasing to a separate doubled take – and place it anywhere in the stereo field with VOL and PAN. HP and LP filters on every voice keep the low end clean and push voices forward or back in the mix. Four voices, four characters, one sound that is entirely yours.An effect on every voice
This is where chorus stops being just chorus. Each voice has its own effect slot with 12 types: Chorus, Flange, Phase and Wobble for movement, Delay, Reverb, Comb and Reverse for space, and Tube, Crush, Fold and Trash for grit. Two knobs are all you need – DEPTH sets the amount, CONTROL shapes the main character. Give two voices a lush chorus and send the other two through a delay or reverb, and you have a sound no ordinary chorus could ever make.Pitch and instant harmonies
The PITCH section shifts each voice up or down in semitone steps, up to a full octave either way. Add an octave below, stack a fifth on top or build a complete chord from a single note. And if your source is monophonic – a vocal, a lead or a bass line – switch on HARMONISE, pick your key and scale, and the voices follow your song with harmonies that always fit. Need the cleanest result? HQ mode delivers smoother, more natural pitch shifting.
One plugin, many roles
Tetrasonic is a chorus, a doubler, an octaver, a harmoniser and a creative multi-effect in one. Widen a clean guitar, turn it into a 12-string or build shimmering octave pads. Drop a bass line an octave lower or give it a wobbling, gritty edge. Double a vocal or add backing harmonies without recording another take. Or go wild with crushed, folded and reversed layers for sound design. A large library of factory presets gets you started right away.Dry, Wet and Link
Set the level of the original and of all four voices separately. Engage Link and DRY and WET move against each other, so the overall level stays the same while you dial in the right amount of effect.
VINTAGE mode
One button adds the soul of classic analogue choruses: slightly irregular modulation, slow drift of the speed and gentle saturation. Perfect when digital perfection sounds too clean.
Locks keep what you like
Lock the mix section or the PITCH section and browse presets or roll the dice without losing your levels or your harmony. Ideal for finding the right sound for a track that is already mixed.
Randomise everything – or just a part
Looking for inspiration? The dice next to each voice generate new settings for that voice; the global dice randomises all four voices, including their pitch intervals; and Rand Pitch shuffles just the intervals. One click can lead you somewhere you would never have gone on your own.Hassle-free software protection
