Been pulling my hair for quite a long time on certain chorus-like effects, and I just don't seem to get them right.

I would be most grateful if someone clever could help me indentify how these effects are made. Is it a plain chorus effect, or is the effect made up from some kind of pitch-shifting?

Any advice here is MOST welcome...

Right.

I presume you are talking about the effect on the voice not the synth string sound? In example one I think I hear a Vocoder-like effect being run through some form of chorus/phaser sound.

Example two is a combination of chorus with a hint of pitch shifting and reverb and then in to a DDL.

Example three sounds similiar to two except less of the effect is used and the delay is more regenerative.

All of these sounds really make me think of the Eventide Harmonizer and it's cool pitch shifting algorythms, combined with reverb and delay. The Harmonizer has such cool routing capabilities, so you can place a delay after a reverb, or pitch shifter after a reverb, etc.

My suggestion for examples two and three is to build a multi effects device in Pulsar combining a chorus/phaser/flanger type effect feeding a reverb with short tail and then feeding that into a delay. You will have to spend a lot of time playing with chorus parameters, wet/dry mix, and reverb settings to acheive these kinds of sounds. You might even try another chorus after the delay. Each time you add another effect the complexity of the interactions gets more difficult to control.

That's my best guess, anyone else?

Eventide Harmonizer... I bet you would say that. But you think these effects are achived by the use of chorus - not pitch shifters? Hmm... I'll try this and see what I come up with.
