The Studio D Chorus Black Friday deal puts Universal Audio's chorus plugin at $49, 50% off, with the offer ending Nov 30, 2026.
Studio D Chorus is a chorus plugin that Universal Audio calls an exacting emulation of the Roland Dimension D, introduced in 1979. The maker says the hardware's analog widening effect has been used by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brian Eno and M83, among others.
It works on guitars, drums, synths and vocals, and you shape it with push buttons instead of a wall of knobs.
Studio D Chorus adds thickness and width to a source. Universal Audio describes the result as analog modulation texture that stays out of the way, so a track gains interest without the effect being obvious.
The maker also says it can make a simple guitar or vocal arrangement sound deeper, and help groups of strings and vocals gel, without compression, EQ or reverb.
As on the vintage rack unit, you can press the buttons in any combination. Universal Audio says that gives a palette of subtle thickening, from light widening to heavier movement.
Engage all four at once and you get what the maker calls a chewy modulation texture. It is pitched at floating guitar parts and synth pads, and it is meant to work on any instrument.
Both plugin versions come with your purchase, so you can use it with or without Universal Audio hardware:
That covers the Studio D Chorus VST-style workflow in the box, and the DSP-accelerated route if you own Apollo or UAD-2 gear.
Universal Audio lists these uses for the plugin:
The effect is a Dimension D-style widener, so the Studio D Chorus deal is aimed at anyone who wants that 1979 rack-unit chorus sound as a plugin on a send or directly on a track.
Yes. The Studio D Chorus Black Friday deal is 50% off, bringing the Universal Audio chorus plugin to $49. The offer ends Nov 30, 2026.
Your purchase includes two versions: UAD Native, which runs on a Mac or PC without any UA hardware, and Apollo Realtime and UAD-2, which runs accelerated on Apollo interfaces and UAD-2 hardware.

Universal Audio calls it an exacting emulation of the Roland Dimension D, introduced in 1979. You control it with push buttons that can be used in any combination, including all four at once.
