Kilohearts Formant Filter Plug-In. If your music doesn't get enough "Aahs" and "Oohs", maybe you should try putting them into the actual music? Formant Filter shapes the sound in a similar way to how the vocal tract works, leading to vowel-esque sounds. So, channel your inner robo-Tarzan. Aaaaoooeoeeeoeeeee! The Formant Filter will boost two frequencies to mimic the sounds of different vowels.
Vowel Selector. Selects two frequencies to boost. We've put the phonetic symbols of some common vowel sounds on the selection pane. (Honestly that doesn't help much. I have no idea how ɤ sounds anyway.) Applying a LFO modulation to either axis of the pane can give some nice human-esque qualities to your sound.
Q knob. Adjust how powerful and narrow the frequency boost is.
Lows. Allow low frequencies through the filter.
Highs. Allow high frequencies through the filter.
Settings panel. Whenever you have your mouse cursor over a snapin there is a small arrow at the top right corner (not visible in screenshot). It opens a settings panel where you handle presets. It also has a "randomize" button that can be useful. I guess...
Enabled checkbox. The small checkbox to the left of the plugin name is a checkbox that bypasses the effect when disabled.
Resize handle. The bottom right corner of all Kilohearts plugins is a resize handle for scaling the UI to any size. This allows you to get a good view of the controls whatever the screen resolution, and also comes in handy if you need big controls, e.g. when using Comb Filter as a real-time effect on a touchscreen monitor during a live set. (This is not available when the snapin is used inside a snapin host.)
This is a snapin. Kilohearts plugins work great together, and all the snapins can work double duty as modular components inside our snapin hosts. There are several different hosts that allow you to apply any number of snapins in various contexts, like to each individual band in the band-splitter Multipass, or add your full effects chain right inside the preset of the synth Phase Plant.
