CHAPTER 40
Roland Dimension D
Overview
The Roland SDD-320 Dimension D is another classic effect faithfully repro-
duced by our ace modeling engineers. The Dimension D is a one of a kind stu-
dio gem that adheres to the principle of doing one thing, and doing it ex-
tremely 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 re-
ally a unique sound enhancer for adding spatial effects to mono or stereo
sources. The Dimension D does not create a dramatically new sound, but en-
hances the characteristics of any voice or instrument, and gives a new “di-
mension” without the apparent movement of sound produced by other chorus
devices. The strength of the Dimension D is in its subtlety.
This classic 1979 Roland device has been heard on countless records, from
luminaries such as Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads and INXS. Entrusted by the
Roland company to emulate this classic studio tool, Universal Audio went to
great lengths to preserve this Bucket Brigade chorus with all its unique design
elements and sonic characteristics. With only four pushbutton ‘dimension’ set-
tings, the Dimension D is the ultimate in functional simplicity.
