Formant 1.0 is a Max4Live device developed by OspreyInstruments that allows users to create unique vowel sounds. Inspired by the Kilohearts formant filter, Formant 1.0 features parallel and serial modes for the lower two formants (F1 and F2), with the frequency range tied to the x and y axes respectively. The device also includes F3 and F4 filters, which are always parallel to F1/F2 and to each other. Users can adjust the gender of the vowel sound using the GENDER control, and the Q parameter sets the filter's Q factor. To facilitate automation and parameter mapping, XY controls are provided at the bottom edge of the device. However, due to computational constraints, a speed limiter is implemented to control the update rate of parameters. Formant 1.0 is an effect device compatible with Live version 10.1.18 and Max version 8.1.5. It can be downloaded from [this link](https://ko-fi.com/s/4ceabfd6fb), and no license information is provided.
