Super Chorus allows you to specify the number of voices, and has adjustable Tone. Vintage Chorus has two voices, with a Warm function adding saturation and Analog some random variation. So, I hear you ask, what modulation types are there? Cosmic Chorus is a four‑voice chorus with delay and feedback (Inject) for each voice, with a Disperse parameter randomising the delay times. Solo does what you’d expect and again saves on CPU. Width sets up differences in the left and right channels to create a sense of stereo spread, in most cases by adjusting the relative phase of the modulation.

The effect of Depth and Rate is shown by a spinning coloured dot in that effect’s small circular display. When Depth is set to zero, the effect is bypassed to conserve CPU resources. The faders change function according to the effect that’s loaded, whereas the knobs always control Depth, Rate and stereo Width. Two horizontal sliders and three knobs control the selected effect. Each of the four sections, with its own smaller circular display, can load one of 12 modulation effects, so there’s scope for some really interesting results, but you can also choose to load a single effect when you have more conventional modulation needs!

Marketed by United Plugins and supporting all mainstream plug‑in formats, JMC Orbitron can run up to four modulation algorithms simultaneously, and they can all be blended to taste with the main circular X/Y control.
