I dont do software but the brilliant hardware solution i have just been working with myself is the KP3... you can record a pad motion that is not in sync to the BMP of the song, it therefore begins to shift and undulate under the main patern, you have to judicious with the amount used but i find a ccouple of seconds of scribbling can result in some really varied undulations if set low in the mix.
i was looking for the boards of canada type sound...think my results are pretty close for digital gear. > Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2011 15:32:42 +0200 > Subject: Re: OT a chorus question > From: perboysen@gmail.com > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > > On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 3:04 PM, Michael Peters <mp@mpeters.de> wrote: > > looking for a something like a chorus VST that wouldn't just do the standard > > regular chorus effect but something more irregular and organic.
