Does anyone have one they like, or even know of one? All I can find is the Doepfer which does not track, and the Cwejman CMF-2 which is a dual filter than can be used as a simple formant filter.
If not, then any suggestions on what filters are good for combining into a tracking formant filter and how to patch it?
Eurorack formant filter with tracking?
I don't think there is such a thing as a formant filter. Like I mean there's no accepted design cast in stone, it's always someone's interpretation, and to me, I haven't heard one that really has a nice useful range and sounds great.
I think it's best to try and find nice sound methods with vocal characteristics on your own. Vowel sounds are very easy to get using just an osc and a filter or 2, there are guides on the internet to about what harmonic content you need but I think the movement between vowels is also important which is why it's good to just play around.
I think anti-oscillator waveshaper has some nice vowelly characterisitics which fits nicel into my current philopshy of not specifically trying to emulate a human voice, but playing an intstrument and sometimes coming across vocal sounds.

Formants aren't always about vocal sounds. Acoustic simulations of resonant cavities (think cello or guitar bodies) can be made using formant filters. As for tracking, well I'd have thought a formant was by definition fixed. If you want tracking then a few bandpass filters in parallel should get you what you want.

And it is a nice triple sine wave oscillator with 1v/oct. for each filter/osc.
+ an attenuated master CV to transpose all 3.
all this on top of being an awesome VC formant filter.
