Formant filters

The Formant filters are somewhat special. They can
create a new sound for you. Imagine a pedal that does
not say WAH WAH, but instead goes OOWEE-
OOWEE. Formants are also known as the vowels of
human speech. The basic idea is that you set three
coordinates, Start, Thru and End in a frequency area,
and then move your sound up and down the curve you
created with the coordinates.

FORMANT CURVE

Start
The Starting point of the formant curve.

Thru
The Thru point of the curve

End
The End point of the curve

Resonance
Sets the amount of resonance on the Formant filter.

Age/Sex
Is used to change the character of the formant curve.
Try to experiment a bit with this parameter.

Sweep
Dial the Sweep parameter to move up and down the
formant curve. This is the parameter that you should
connect to a pedal or some other modifier.

Try to connect the Sweep parameter to an LFO,
ENV or an expression pedal for realtime
parameter control.

Mix
Mix between direct sound and effect.

In Level
Controls the input level of block.

Out Level
Controls the output level of the block.

Mute mode
