Formant Filters (FormF)
Figure 38: Formant Filters Panel
The Formant Filters in Solaris v5.0 are the same as the
“Vocal Filter” Modular II module. The Formant Filters
are at the end of the signal path, and are comprised
of two identical monophonic modules. The
fi lters can
be controlled independently or as linked monophonic
modules, by selected between “Stereo” and “Mono
(Linked)” via the toggle switch. When operating as
independent
fi lters (Stereo mode), you can switch the
entire control panel by fl ipping the “Left/Right” toggle
switch.
The Formant Filter consists of 5 vocal formants in
series in a panning mixer. Each of the 5 formant slots
allows you to select from among 10 common vocal
sounds, A, E, I, O, U, etc.. Moving the Initial Xfade
(crossfade) knob allows you to hear each formant as
you pass along the line, crossfading from 1 to 2 to 3,
etc. You can modulate this Xfade position from the
Xfade Modulation path. Play with the initial setting to
offset it when using negative modulation amounts, etc.
All of the formants’ base frequency is controlled by the
Frequency Offset control. Moving this higher or lower
will shift all 5 formant frequencies up or down. This
parameter can be modulated by the Frequency Modu-
lation Path.
3 Band Equalizer (EQ/OD)
Figure 39: 3 Band Equalizer Panel
Each band has a possible center frequency setting
from 20-20,000 Hertz. A cut or boost of 12 dB per
band is available. Q controls the bandwidth of the cut
or boost; 0.7 is the minimum Q setting, and allows the
widest bandwidth around the center frequency. 20.0 is
the maximum, giving the narrowest bandwidth.
The 3 Band EQ circuit can be placed before or after
the Overdrive circuit, using the routing switch.
New: A graphic display has been added to give
an idea of the EQ settings. You can also edit the
EQ parameters from this graphic.
Overdrive
The Overdrive circuit produces a ‘hard clipping’ of the
Poly Level output. Use extreme caution very high set-
tings, as it may damage your speakers or ears. The
Overdrive circuit can be placed before or after the 3
Band EQ, using the routing switch.
FX Insert/BP Noise/CC (Misc.)
Figure 40: FX Insert/BP Noise/CC Panel
Control Description
FX Insert Up to 3 stereo effects can be loaded
into these effects slots. Right-click in
the slot next to the Active button to
load or remove an effect, or to open its
control surface or preset list. The Ac-
tive button toggles the insert effect on
and off. The dry and wet knobs control
the dry and wet mix of the insert ef-
fects, independent of the dry/wet mix
of the effects themselves.
Search Path This parameter is connected to all the
RD slots in Solaris; it is used to de
fi ne
where the system will search for mod-
ules when the ‘right-click’ option for
loading RD slots is used.
