I also noticed there was a thread on a Vowel class so maybe working with that and the Formant Ugen might be something to look into.

I’ve used FormantTable from sc3-plugins along with PM synthesis to produce vowels that sound a lot better than they have any right to (since it’s “just” PM).

FM formant synthesis (e.g. Chowning, "Phone")

Formants without Formant or Formlet! Only SinOscs and some math ops. MouseX is pitch. MouseY moves through ee-ey-ah-oh-oo. Uses FormantTable from sc3-plugins. Cmd-. to release resources. Julius O. Smith (FM Voice): A basic FM patch, consisting of two sinusoidal oscillators (a “modulator” and a “carrier" oscillator) can synthesize a useful approximation to a formant group in a harmonic line spectrum. In this application, the carrier frequency is set near the formant center frequency, and the …
