The Symphonic Ensemble is a Vst plugin inspired on the Chorus/Ensemble modules found on some very well known vintage Strings Machines.
It is a special kind of Chorus in the way that employs three independent stages of chorus linked in parallel, modulated at a different phase and rate each, and then mixed with the original sound to impart that so much characteristic Strings Ensemble sound. It is a far more richer effect than chorus by itself and it can instantly turn any harsh or dull waveform into something organic and alive.
Initially and because this was an effect only found on strings machines, some may say that it is most vocationed for synthesized sounds but using it on guitars can be very rewarding too, as for other sound materials?, well its up to the users taste of course, but here experimentation is a must. The controllers are very few, meaning that with little tweaking you can get "That" sound right there on the spot.
The Symphonic Ensemble is fully automatable and has the ability to store 32.

Gives live to dull bass guitars and lets them sit beautifully in the mix.

I cannot say enough good about this effect. I use it all of the time! I love that it keeps in the Mids in and maintains instrument character (too may effects scoop the EQ unnecessarily). Having owned ARP equipment in the past,.. this is dead-on true to form (minus the annoying hissy noise of 70s equipment). Here's a hint: this also works *great* for making a Strat type guitar sound like it's going through a Roland Jazz Chorus Amp. It has a similar tonality to that circuit. I do a light "mono" chorus through my Digitech RP 500... and then in the mix slap this on with depth on 4 and spread on 7.5 ((speed on slow) and it makes for a really clean and clear guitar sound. In fact,... I think this company could do something similar with this effect and market it as a Roland Jazz Chorus simulator. My vote for the Symphonic Ensemble... 5 STARS EASY !!!!!
