Speech-Synthesis

Hi,

There are only few people, who used ring-modulation to simulate Speech....
I even want try it, but unfortunately I don't have any idea how this works
Before I waste time by testing I ask here: Is there someone with knowledge?

Btw: Is there someone who can tell me, what the voice in AGEMIXER'S song "Da Shit (Eastwood Jack's Red..)" says?

not entirely sure on the techy side regarding Ring Modulation, bit it involved playing something on, for example the first channel and applying ring modulation on the second channel. the pitch of the note playing on the first channel then effects the modulation effect on the second channel (along them lines) Not many musicians have utilised this effect (Maybe Rob hubbard (eg, thundercats soundtrack). There was a demo by Padua (One of the Torture series) which had the wacko jacko soundtract 'black & white) with the 'Ow' synth effect in there. The sound effects in Myth were quite amazing as well (sword clangs, etc)

There are a couple of SIDs in HVSC where JCH tried to make the SID say Triangle using ringmod.

Any speech synth examples using waveforms (not $d418)?

Strobosphere II by Agemixer also comes to mind.

Wow, that was really amazing. The first ever time that i have heard someone attempt to make the sid 'sing' any more examples?

Jammer used it twice, but I don't think the tunes ("Not Worse than Huus" and "Opium II intro") were ever released. I tried as well - the C64 was supposed to say "What? Brasil!" in the last seconds of my (otherwise lame) tune "Transmitting Live from Brasil", and "Freeze!" in (also lame) tune "Gunjah".
Ari beats us both in speech synthesis, hands down, though ;)

Have a listen to "Orcus_giv_it_up" by JCH, that's probably the best example of ring mod "singing" i've heard... =-)

The problem with speechsynthesis using sidwaves and ringmod is that you get the best result by using filters and as we
know there are way too many sid-revisions with different filtercutoff-ranges. Did a test last year though and made an example that "says": VIRUZ, with a deep vocoder-like sound, but then again it it relies too much on the filter my 6581r4 sid uses. But I had a lot of fun doing vocoder-like sounds on my good old trusty Roland XP-50 synth, by using the same technique, more or less. Well, apart from using 2 filters instead of 1.
