- Some of the info used to make this article was merged in from Chorus. You can take a look at the history of Chorus, some of which contribtued to this article (among others), at Talk:Refrain/Old history from Chorus.--Commander Keane 06:22, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New sample
really great new example, thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.211.227.37 (talk) 02:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Pitch shifters
I removed the reference to pitch shifters. They have nothing to do with the chorus effect. This article is generally confused and should be rewritten in the same format as those about flangers and phasers etc.
[edit] Piano
I don't think the piano is a good example of a non-chorus instrument. In the middle and upper registers a piano has typically 3 strings per note and an artist piano tuner will not tune those strings identically, precisely to provide a subtle mixed tuning effect - in the same way (though maybe not to the same degree) as the 12-string guitar's B and E strings. Out of the factory pianos are typically tuned not to "beat" at all but this can make the piano sound rather mechanical. NickS (talk) 12:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I see it's the "additional" effect of delay being discussed. Ignore the above. NickS (talk) 10:32, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] on chorus method
There's a big error in the "Method" section of article. In regards to electronic/synthesizer method of constructing a chorus effect, this is not a true statement:
"To produce the effect, either naturally or in simulation, individual sounds with roughly the same timbre and nearly (but never exactly) the same pitch converge and are perceived as one."
The individual sounds can be of the same pitch. In essence, chorus is simply a delay or a group of delays with very short delay times. The pitches of the sounds that come from the delays are not necessarily different from the pitch of the original input sound. I also do not see why the "individual sounds" cannot be of different timbres. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.148.88.128 (talk) 11:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
