Dual-Engine Stereo Chorus Ensemble.

Most choruses give you one engine and call it a day. Astro Cloud gives you two.
Mode I and Mode II are genuinely different voicings - run either one alone for a classic ensemble sound, or stack both together and the two engines interact into something wider and more three-dimensional than a single modulation path can produce. Push Depth further than a normal chorus dares and it slides into slow, swirling vibrato territory instead of just thickening up. Each engine drifts its own rate slightly on an independent clock, so it never locks into a robotic back-and-forth.
Two engines. One gorgeous swirl.
$9. Introductory price.
Depth That Goes Past Lush Into Ethereal.
Turn Depth up past where a normal chorus tops out and listen to it stop thickening and start swirling. Stack Mode I+II and hear two independently-drifting engines interact into something a single-engine chorus can't reach.

Two Chorus Engines, Not One
Mode I and Mode II aren't the same engine with different knob settings - they're two independently modulated delay-line pairs with their own character. Run Mode I alone for a classic ensemble sound, Mode II alone for something faster and deeper, or select I+II and both engines run at once, interacting into a thicker, more three-dimensional swirl than either one produces solo.
Width blends between a mono-summed chorus and full stereo spread, and a separate Channels switch hard-sums to true mono whenever a real mono-compatibility check is needed - independent of wherever Width is set.
Alive, Not Mechanical
Each engine's rate wanders a few percent on its own slow, independent clock - the same quiet imprecision a real analog ensemble has and a digital one usually doesn't. Nothing to turn on, nothing to tune, it's just how Astro Cloud behaves. Pair a slow Rate with a deep Depth setting and it stops sounding like a guitar effect and starts sounding like a small trip off the launch pad.
Tone and Low Cut shape the wet signal so the swirl sits where it should instead of stacking on top of the low end. Tempo Sync locks the modulation rate to the host grid when that's the better call.
20 Places to Start
Guitar chorus, vocal doubling, synth pads, bass thickening - and a handful built to push Depth and Mix all the way to the edge: Ethereal Wash, Deep Space, Slow Motion, Full Wet Dream. Every preset is a real starting point built from the actual controls, not a single macro knob standing in for the rest - so once you land on one, keep turning knobs. That's the whole point.
