Formant Filter
The formant filter reproduces the filtering effect of the vocal tract in the human voice. By changing
the position of the tongue, the opening of the mouth and opening or closing the nasal cavities one
can change the filter applied to the glottal signal and thus produce the different vowels. Measure-
ments have shown that this filter can be modeled by three peaking EQ filters corresponding to the
three main cavities of the vocal tract as shown in Figure 18 and also known as formants. By mov-
ing the parameters of these three filters (frequency, amplitude and Q-factor) one can cycle between
