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.
