Note: The UAD Roland Dimension D plug-in is no longer available for purchase. It has been replaced by the UAD Studio D Chorus plug-in, which uses the exact same algorithm.

Famous late-1970's Bucket Brigade Chorus & Sound Enhancement

The Roland Dimension D is a one-of-a-kind studio gem that adheres to the principle of doing one thing, and doing it extremely well. Its one and only function: some of the best sounding stereo chorus ever made. However, the Dimension D is more than a chorus; it is really a unique sound enhancer for adding spatial and stereo widening effects.

This classic 1979 Roland device has been heard on countless records, including luminaries such as Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads and INXS. Universal Audio went to great lengths to preserve this Bucket Brigade chorus with all its unique design elements and sonic characteristics. With only four push-button "Dimension" settings, the Dimension D is the ultimate in functional simplicity.

• Famous Bucket Brigade chorus heard on countless records
• Accurate model of unique Dimension D chorus effect
• Designed for subtle chorus and spatial effects

Roland Dimension D Controls

The Roland Dimension D is very simple device to operate; it has only three controls: Power, Mono, and Mode. Each control is detailed below.

Dimension Mode

The Dimension Mode determines the effect intensity. Four different modes are available. Mode 1 is the most subtle effect, and Mode 4 is maximum intensity.

Multiple Buttons

True to the original hardware, multiple Dimension Mode buttons can be engaged
simultaneously for subtle sonic variations of the four main modes. To engage multiple Dimension Mode buttons, press the Shift key on the computer keyboard while clicking the Mode buttons.

Input Mode Switch

The original Roland Dimension D has an input switch on the back that puts the unit into mono-in/stereo-out mode. We have included this function and moved the switch "to the front" for your processing convenience.

When in Mono mode, the input to Dimension D is monophonic even when used in a stereo-input configuration (stereo inputs are summed to mono). This can be useful for sonic variation, such as when the plug-in is used in an auxiliary/effect send configuration.

The default position (in) is stereo mode. Click the pushbutton switch (out) to enable Mono mode.

Power Switch

This switch determines whether the plug-in is active. This is useful for comparing the processed settings to the original signal, or to bypass the plug-in to reduce the UAD DSP load (load is not reduced if UAD-2 DSP LoadLock is enabled). Click the pushbutton switch to change the Power state.

Power LED

The Power LED is illuminated when the plug-in is active.

Output Level

This LED-style meter represents the level of the signal at the output of the plug-in when processing is active.
