Formant Filter

The Format Filter adds characteristics of the human voice to any sound. It accomplishes this by chaining a narrow set of bandpass filters, set at specific frequencies, which reflect the formants of the human voice.

PAGE ONE CONTROLS

• HEADSIZE
  Simulates the resonating qualities of a human head. Higher values will have a deeper resonance.
  Range: 0.00 Cm to 1.00 Cm

• VOWEL
  Selects the type of vocal formant, or vowel character, that will affect the sound. Sweeping the control will gradually change between vowel sounds.
  Range: 0.00Hz to 1.00 Hz

• RES (Resonance)
  Emphasizes the formant’s frequency.
  Range: 0.00 to 1.00

!High RES levels can cause loud oscillations.

• BLEND
  Blends in the higher frequencies of the original sound, adding clarity.
  Range: 0.00 Amp to 1.00 Amp

• LEVEL
  Determines the overall Formant Filter effect level.
  Range: -inf dB to 0 dB

PAGE TWO CONTROLS
NOTE: This page contains two dedicated modulation LFOs for both the HEADSIZE and the VOWEL controls on Page One.

• [HEADSIZE] RATE
  Controls the speed of the Headsize modulation. The rate types are either in Hz or in rhythmic values depending on whether the Sync button is enabled or not.
  Range:
  Synced: 32x, 16x, 8x, 7x, 6x, 5x, 4x, 3x, 2x, 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/96, 1/1dot, 1/2dot, 1/4dot, 1/8dot, 1/16dot, 1/1triplet, 1/2triplet, 1/4triplet, 1/8triplet, 1/16triplet. _
  _Unsynced: 0.00Hz to 15.00 Hz

• [HEADSIZE] DEPTH
  Controls the amount of the modulation.
  Range: 0 to 1

• [HEADSIZE] SYNC
  There are two ways to control the rate of the Headsize modulation—by Hz and by various sync rates with the host. When the Sync button is enabled, the values will change to musical rates.

• [VOWEL] RATE
  Controls the speed of the Vowel modulation. The rate types are either in Hz or in rhythmic values depending on whether the Sync button is enabled or not.
  Range:
  Synced: 32x, 16x, 8x, 7x, 6x, 5x, 4x, 3x, 2x, 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/96, 1/1dot, 1/2dot, 1/4dot, 1/8dot, 1/16dot, 1/1triplet, 1/2triplet, 1/4triplet, 1/8triplet, 1/16triplet
  Unsynced: 0.00Hz to 15.00 Hz

• [VOWEL] DEPTH
  Controls the intensity of the Vowel modulation.
  Range: 0 to 1

• [VOWEL] SYNC
  There are two ways to control the rate of the Vowel modulation—by Hz and by sync rates with the host. When the Sync button is enabled, the values will change to musical rates.
