UVI announces the release of Thorus XT, an extended chorus designer and a new take on their original chorus plugin. Advanced DSP drives a morphable eight-voice architecture, joined by a second engine that faithfully models the analog bucket-brigade circuits that chorus was born on. Here’s what they say:
Two worlds, one plugin, from brilliant digital shimmer to grainy vintage movement and everywhere in between.
Cutting-edge DSP
Thorus XT delivers a variable chorus architecture with continuous and morphable voice control; sweeping voices results in the last voice fading in and out smoothly, with no stepping. Fewer voices give pronounced, identifiable modulation; more voices blur the line into a thick, immersive wash.
Digital–clean, Precise, Transparent
The digital engine is the Thorus you already know, refined: clean, precise, and prized for its clarity, with every voice reading a single shared delay line at interpolated positions for a crystalline, detailed sound. When clean isn’t the objective, Quality becomes a band-limited sample-rate reducer with a downsampled, lo-fi edge. It widens vocals, keys, and layered synths without clouding a modern mix.
Analog–warm, Colored, Alive
A faithful bucket-brigade chip emulation, the circuit found in classic hardware units like the Dimension D and Juno-6. Where the digital engine is clean by design, this one gives users the natural imperfections of hardware: aliasing, resonance, pumping compression, hiss, and per-voice variation, with the parameters normally sealed inside the circuit opened up and made shapeable. It brings vintage weight and motion to guitars, electric pianos, and polysynth pads.
Key Features:
- Two chorus engines in one plugin: pristine digital and analog circuit-modeled BBD.
- Shared morphable eight-voice architecture with continuously variable voice count.
- Faithful bucket-brigade chip emulation with modeled aliasing, hiss, and per-voice variation.
- Analog circuit control over Aliasing, Stability, and Compander.
Price: $79 | 79€ – Thorus XT is available now at a special introductory price of $49 | 49€ through September 7th, 2026 at uvi.net/thorus-xt.
