eqing and effects

[Anomaly]

Are there any effects out of the box where you can put reverb, chorus, delay etc only on the high end of a channel?

Right now if I want to put chorus on a bassline, I double it, cut the high on one channel, cut the lows on the other and then apply the effect to the "high" channel.

This does exactly what I want but if the VSTi is resource intensive it can become a limiting factor.

Anyone?

P.S.
If you do use the doubling method, you can humanize or shuffle a little for extra fatness.

Pioneer EFX 500...let's you set effect frequencies off of a 3-band parametric EQ. Good, clean stuff...especially echoes and fades on the highs avoiding a repeating kick or bass line. With this model, you can get the snares to hit 1/8th or 1/16th notes, but leaves the bass completely on it's original 1/4 note time. Buttons on the unit allow you to instantly switch between note assignments (ex: speeding up/slowing down the echo or chorus or whatever). You'll need a send/return on you're mixer unless you want you're whole output processed.

check out the lexicon mxl200, it is a multi effects unit that hooks up usb as well as audio to be used as both an extrenal effects box and a controller for a virtual effects plugin. im getting one very soon, it does this all without runnign through your soundcard, you just need an extra usb port

you can chain the effects in sequence as well and place a parametric eq before your effects to single out certain frequencies, im pretty sure the tc electronics m1xl does the same!
