Update: Here's another vid with some additional formant makers: youtube.com/watch?v=-eRUh12IMNs
--------------

I now find myself with 3 separate filters that do "formant" filtering, so clearly
it's time for a comparison. I'm literally getting my ya-yas out. And my yi-yis, and sometimes my wa-was. Just depends on where you turn the knob....

There are other formant filters out there, this isn't all of them, but it's all the ones I have, so don't assume this is the exhaustive comparison.

Formants are fun. And though I don't get into it much in this video, using
formant filters for "regular" duties with only mild formant effects can
be quite interesting.

Actually, using formants sparingly should probably be the rule. There's
definitely too much of a good thing possible here....
