The pitch difference is modulated to create oscillations. Electronically, the effect is produced by mixing the incoming signal with a slightly delayed and detuned copy of itself. Because the two don’t have exactly the same pitch and timbre, it creates a “choir” effect. The Chorus effect occurs in the real world when two musicians (or singers) play the same piece in unison.
