Looking for a synth with selectable vowels in the formant filter

Icarus

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind if Lush101 doesn't come through for me.

Icarus has 2 filters... each can be set to any of dozens of filter types. Those types include IEA, AOU, IEAOU...

Lush vowel filter sounds more like the specific vowels, however the Icarus vowel filters are decent and of course since it is a wavetable synth you have much more osc flexibility... you can resynthesize audio into wavetables. You can use straight samples too. The wavetables also have the morph parameter which includes formant and vocoder options. So you can do all sorts of vocal sounds even before getting to the vowel filters.

Its even MPE compatible and there is a cheaper ios version as well...

Phonem is incredible for vocal sounds... not so fast and easy as just adding a vowel filter... it's my favorite though.

Razor has a great vowel filter

Thanks guys but to reiterate I need the synth to specify the actual vowel letters. I already have many vowel/formant synths including my beloved Serum but I want to be able to specifically select A for example.

aMUSEd understands as do a few others. Just downloaded Razor now. Phoneme also looks good but a bit too good if that’s possible. I want it to sound robotic and not overly realistic.

Keep ‘em coming though.

The Green Oak Crystal VSTi lets you specify vowels.

More than just a formant synth, the Xoxos Syng2 VSTi is an interesting instrument.

As is also Plogue's Alter Ego instrument.

I did not check if it was alraedy mentioned but with the latest update Roland Cloud System-8 plugin (and the hardware too...) got two formant filters One has 2 vowels and the 3 and both have 6 options like e.g. u-a or u-i-a that are available with "Type" and "Cutoff" knobs.

As it was alraedy mentioned Icarus got vowel filter modes too and with the dual multimode filter you could even use two of them at once (in series or parallel).

Again, I just have recommend Tone2 Warmverb

Does a lot more and sounds like a millions dollars.

I just remembered that Contralogic's Blarg also has formant support: https://www.kvraudio.com/product/blarg- ... ns/details

The Monolake / Robert Henke formant filter is the best sounding formant filter I've ever heard. It's probably also the most flexible, you have loads of different labels and can fine-tune the formants aswell as the fundamental. Ableton only since it's M4l unfortunately.
