Description
Fowl Play is a vowel ring modulator that ranges from subtle mix "placement" to animated, talky, harmonic movement—depending on how hard you drive the Motion and Mix.
What it does
•At Motion = 0, it behaves like a tonal vowel EQ / resonant vowel color, helping sounds "sit" in a mix with a focused character.
•With a small amount of Motion, it shifts into a harmonic tremolo / Leslie-like swirl (the Mix knob determines how forward the effect feels).
•At higher Motion settings, you'll get a more obvious, effected ring-mod vowel tone.
