Hi kids
I'm working on a track in pro tools at the moment but I really want to use a collection of VSTs i've got in ableton to effect the vocal. And i like being able to actually play the effect parameters in with my controller.
Anyhoo. I really need to know if anyone can recommend a nice INTERESTING filter for OSX. Something nice and vowely but quite sqwelchy too.
I'm thinking something along the lines of Goldfrapp's "Deer Stop" which uses a built in filter on an akai S6000 called the Vowelator or Vocalizer or something like that.

Any suggestions please message me. Thanks for the time.

You can build your own. Vocal sounds have a set of 3 peaks; the relative distance (pitch-wise) determines what letter they sound like, the pitch of the bottom one determines the size and sex of the imaginary vocalist.

What you´d need is a set of paralel bandpass filters with some resonance and a table with the right frequencies. If you have a eq that will go extreme enough that might do the trick too.
