Formant: supported by which Fractal Audio products?
- Axe-Fx II: yes.
- FX8: yes.
- AX8: yes.
Formant and X/Y switching
The Formant block does not support X/Y switching.
Formant: headroom and clipping
Because of the resonant frequencies of the Formant filter, it's easy to make the digital signal clip. Make sure there's enough headroom in the preset level.
Simulate a talkbox with Formant
With the help of the Formant effect you can simulate a talkbox and (if you really really must ...) play Livin' on a Prayer. Here are some threads to get you going:
