A Playful Formant Filter for Instant Character
Talkie is a compact and expressive formant filter developed by Gooey Audio, designed to inject vowel-like movement and vocal character into any sound source. Straight to the point, intuitive, and musically focused, Talkie turns harmonically rich signals into animated, talking textures with minimal effort.
Built around a clean, single-control workflow, the plugin encourages experimentation without slowing down creativity. Slide the control, and your sound morphs smoothly through distinct formant shapes, adding life, personality, and subtle articulation to synths, basses, pads, or even rhythmic material.
Talkie excels at transforming static sounds into expressive elements. It’s particularly effective on saw waves, warm pads, and layered textures, where its formant curves introduce organic motion and tonal color. The visual feedback makes it easy to understand how the filter shapes the sound, keeping the experience both playful and precise.
Light on CPU and heavy on character, Talkie fits naturally into modern production workflows. Whether you’re designing unique leads, adding movement to background elements, or experimenting with vocal-inspired effects, it delivers fast results without complexity.
