Explore the possibilities of The Orb.

AudioThing’s processor uses three band-pass filters with vowel sets and modulation. Separate LFO destinations can move the vowel, emphasis and drift, creating evolving articulations. It is an effect for treating audio you supply, rather than a replacement for a recorded voice or a conventional vocal instrument.

Key features

  • Three formant-filter bands
  • Several vowel sets
  • Three modulation LFOs

Who it suits

Sound designers adding vocal-like motion to synths, loops and textures.

Purchase checks

Try the effect on both sustained and percussive sources; formant motion may need different modulation speeds for each.
