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?

You nearly seduced me to write a demo with the name "Bloemkolen" (Gunnar's favorite exotic dish) to participate in the compo... |

Quote: I played around with some SAM, not sure what version or anything in Half Demo. I just put the speech commands as used in BASIC in to memory and pointed to the RAM and play.
I also found out it was wouldn't play so nice if I had screen on and I was very much a beginner at the time. No idea what I was doing.
But that makes it possible to make SAM rap over a sid song, or what? fill up the 256 bytes of tekstmemory, triggered by the sidsong routine, refreshing the 256 bytes, jmp to SAM play routine.. or am I talking like the typical dummy? |

From the description of the routine that Groepaz wrote regarding the SAM player, it would probably be too awkward if at all feasable to do other things while sample is played back.
The description I gave regarding the allophone to speech sample lookup was not anything to do with the SAM speech synthesiser. Using this method (eg NMI interrupt playing sample sections, reading next allophone, pointing to sample lookup and playing etc etc) would allow other stuff to happen (eg SID music etc) and the voice would probably be more natural (although less control unless the playback routine was tweaked)

Just rummaged through of one the disks and found an ancient crap program written by me a long time ago. The program is a front end for the SAM synthesiser (Dalek Speech) give it a try. I was just reading the scroller for and text for the program. What lame things i came out with (One example.. Written 100% in machine code, not assembler.. Classic lameness. It's shameful to write something along them lines. (Mind you, most of my stuff at that time especially before was even worse)

Zyron: Just before Floppy 2001 we were discussing who was to talk in the mic and present the entries during the compo, but we all were pretty nervous of doing that. A few nights later I found some documentation of S.A.M and was playing around with it, when the idea struck me to use him as the voice of the compo. Surely one of our heaviest party features.. (: if anyone is the voice of the c64, it surely is S.A.M. |

S.A.M. is also the voice of Apple II, Atari 8-bit and original IBM PC, if I remember correctly. :-) |

An example from the Japanese synth master Tomita. Found it a while ago on the internet.
