  • Timbre selects the frequency range used for analysis and resynthesis. Vowel formants peak at different frequencies: for example, a “u” may have peaks near 330 and 1260 Hz, with variation across voices.
  • Matching the range to the speaker, or to an instrument used as a modulator, helps the filters respond to the frequencies that matter. Monitoring fewer frequencies can improve response time and output.
