[sdiy] Polymoog resonator question

[rburnett at richieburnett.co.uk]

Thanks for the suggestions re formant frequencies.  Sadly, this isn't 
likely to be something I'll get chance to implement myself in the 
short-term, but the information would surely be useful to others.  It 
just seemed to me that tabulated formant data was the final missing 
piece in the jigsaw once you have your filter bank that can dial in 
whatever formants you want to impart to the sound.  The formant filter 
implementation could be either an analogue filter bank or some digital 
signal processing.  To my mind the latter method sounds well suited to 
quickly switching the formant frequencies and bandwidths from that of 
one instrument to another, or morphing, or mimicking vowels, or 
whatever...

-Richie,
