excellent way to generate sounds with vowel-like formants resembling the human

● RESO (7...127):
Adjusts the resonance peak (or "Q") of the filter on a scale of Q=0.7...12.7. Higher
values boost the frequencies at the filter's cutoff point creating a characteristic peak.
● VCF TYPE ​ ( ​ L PF, HPF, BPF, NTC, OFF):
Selects between Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Notch filter types. Setting the
slider to OFF will only bypass ​ t his ​ f ilter; the second (Bandpass-only) filter will remain
active unless the BPF FRQ slider is also set to OFF.
The four filter types are as follows:
1. Lowpass - Attenuates the frequencies ​ a bove ​ t he cutoff;
2. Highpass - Attenuates the frequencies ​ b elow ​ the cutoff;
3. Bandpass - Attenuates the frequencies ​ o n either side of ​ the cutoff;
4. Notch - Attenuates the frequencies ​ a t ​ t he cutoff.
● ENV FOLLOW (0...127):
Adjusts the extent to which the filter's cutoff is modulated by the Envelope Follower.
The envelope follower signal corresponds exactly to the volume envelope of the input
instrument.
● AD/ADSR (0...127):
Adjusts the extent to which the filter's cutoff is modulated by the fully-adjustable VCF
AD/ADSR Envelope set in the Envelopes block.
● ACCENT (0...127):
Adjusts the extent to which the filter's cutoff is modulated by the initial volume of the
input instrument at the moment a note is played.
Like the Envelope Follower, Accent is a dynamics parameter. Whereas the Envelope
Follower outputs a continuously-changing signal which exactly follows the amplitude
curve of the input instrument, accent outputs a steady signal determined by the
instrument's initial loudness value.
When the FI is played using its MIDI IN port, Accent adjusts the extent to which the
filter's cutoff is modulated by keyboard velocity.
Note: ​ I n earlier versions of the FI firmware it was the Envelope Follower which
adjusted the extent to which the filter's cutoff was modulated by keyboard velocity. So
if a program which uses the MIDI input is ported to the new 3.00 format, then the
Envelope Follower parameter value must be copied to the Accent parameter in order
for the program to play as expected.
