Analog's Formant Filters

I've been trying to experiment with various parameters on the Ableton/AAS Analog instrument. But the formant filters are proving impossible to use without serious clipping on various notes. I guess that makes sense, given the way that formants make the vowel sounds, but is there any way to use these filters without having to avoid the excessively resonating notes. BTW, this happens even if I use key tracking and no resonance. Thx.

That's the nature of a formant filter.
There's some Reso settings where the peaks are less pronounced though, like with Reso @~40 (when using the 12dB/octave filter), experiment with it and you'll probably some other settings like this.
But the best solution is probably to put a limiter/compressor right after Analog :wink:
