v0.1.0

First public release of Formant, a CPU-only, Rust-native vocal processor for Windows. It replaces the everyday Voicemod workflow (a clean chain plus noise reduction) with no GPU, no cloud, and no background service, and it grows into a node-based editor that hosts your existing VST3 plugins.

Highlights

  • Real-time mic processing over WASAPI with drift-compensated resampling, so long sessions stay glitch-free.
  • Dual output: monitor yourself on one device while a virtual cable feeds other apps as a microphone.
  • A full built-in chain: high-pass, RNNoise denoise, gate, de-esser, compressor, 3-band EQ, saturator, limiter, and gain.
  • A pan-and-zoom node editor with parallel routing. A Mix node and signal fan-out let you build parallel compression, blend-in saturation, and dry/wet setups.
  • VST3 hosting: finds your installed plugins, adds them as nodes, opens their native editors, and saves their settings in presets.
  • Mic gating with voice activity, push-to-talk, toggle, and always-open modes on rebindable global hotkeys.
  • Lives in the tray with single-instance protection, optional start-with-Windows, and last-session restore.
  • Two bundled presets: Standard Vocal and Parallel Vibe.

Install

  • Run Formant-0.1.0-x64.msi for a normal install, or unzip Formant-0.1.0-portable.zip and run formant.exe.
  • To route into Discord, OBS, or a game, install a virtual audio device (VB-CABLE or Voicemeeter), point Formant's cable output at it, and set the app's microphone to that same device.

Requires Windows 10 or 11. Formant is free software under the GNU GPL, version 3 or later.
