Re: Plugin recommendation: chorus for voice

Sorry for the double-post, but just to follow up on your original stereo spread / depth comment -- the reason I like this approach is that you can play with the detuning over time (and really the pitch-shifter doesn't have to be a granular process of course, I just like the sound of it) and layer multiple detuned copies with itself following different pitch curves for a very rich sound, that can expand nicely into the stereo field by just panning the detuned layers to taste.

A chorus-like effect that I like to use sometimes is basically what Ralf describes, but I'll mix another version with granular pitch modulation in with the original signal. Here's a maybe more exaggerated example than you're looking for applied to guitars around the 17 minute mark: https://nomadickidsrepublic.bandcamp.com/track/gather-burn-echo

I did this particular recording with Eric Lyon's granola~ in max/msp, which is also available as a PD external but any granular pitch-shifter that allows you to automate the pitch curves would work!

If you shouldn't find an appropriate chorus effect, you could try a
single (no feedback) very short delay. Original sound e.g. between left
and centre and short delayed between centre and right. This is
missing the detune component, perhaps keeping the original as is and
the delayed with minimal pitch correction or pitch change could help to
get the detune effect.

Instead of playing 2 times the same power chord rock guitar to get a
rich sound, a guitar rotary effect could be used. It shouldn't sound as
a Leslie emulation, instead it should sound similar to an unobtrusive
chorus and phasing alike effect. I neither used this with vocals, nor
do I know if there is a rotary plugin available, that isn't just another
Leslie emulation.

For vocals I just used singing two times the same part, btw. this is my
favourite to get a chorus effect alike sound and I also used the single
short delay effect, but without pitch correction or pitch change effect.
