Free vowel-style formant filter from Kilohearts Essentials.

Best for: Sound Design, Keys & Synths. Genres: Electronic & EDM.

Keywords: free, sound design, synths, vocals.

What it does

Formant Filter shapes sound like a vocal tract, boosting two frequencies to produce vowel-like sounds.

Vowel: selects the pair of boosted frequencies, marked with phonetic symbols, and can be modulated by an LFO.
Q: how narrow and strong the boost is.
Lows and Highs: let low or high frequencies pass through.

It's free and works as a plugin or a Snapin.

When to use it

A free way to make synths, guitars and basses talk, or to add vowel-style movement with an LFO. It's simple, with a vowel control rather than a full morphing filter; Filter Table is the paid step up. Suits dubstep, bass music and electronic sound design.
