Advanced Formant Filter Plugin (VST/AU/AAX)

0

The Orb is a formant filter plugin which simulates the characteristics of the human voice. Featuring a set of three band pass filters, The Orb can transform any sound into a vowel-like formant-filtered sound. With the three LFOs you can modulate the Vowel, the Emphasis/Resonance of the formants, and the Drift, which can shift up or down the frequencies of each formant. You can also create your own set of vowels by changing name and frequency for each vowel/formant.

Product Overview

The Orb is a formant filter plugin which simulates the characteristics of the human voice. Featuring a set of three band pass filters, The Orb can transform any sound into a vowel-like formant-filtered sound. With the three LFOs you can modulate the Vowel, the Emphasis/Resonance of the formants, and the Drift, which can shift up or down the frequencies of each formant. You can also create your own set of vowels by changing name and frequency for each vowel/formant.

CUSTOM VOWELS

By clicking on the Edit button in the Vowels section, you can access the Custom Vowels window.

It’s possible to change each vowel name and frequency for the three formants.

Each custom vowels set will be saved in a preset (or DAW session), so you can create as many as you want by saving to a new preset.

The default setting is the same as the Male genre settings.

DEMO VERSION AVAILABLE

Try The Orb for free with some limitations: silence for 3 seconds every 45 seconds, saving disabled. Click the DEMO icon near the top of this page.

If you like it, you can purchase a license and then authorize the demo version.

Depending on how you use it, you can get surprising results.” - Matthew Sims.
