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?

Just as long as he's not driving a moped while farting, I'm fine with it.

It's nice to see a lot of sceners are thinking about speech synthesis in SID tunes... 1x-speedwise, Freestyler by Agemixer is the best example yet, I think. I have been experimenting a little myself a while back, and you can do some nice ringmod singing in 2x-speed. It's quite hard though, you can't just make single letter patterns and then link them together. Every word requires a new pattern, depending on the sentence and intonation. Still needs a lot of work and as Jeff mentioned, it will probably sound not too good outside of the SID chip you created the tune for. Don't have the time at the moment.

i totally lack patience to come up with some recognizable ringmod-speech. i've studied jch's triangle- and bonzai-worktunes until my nose bled, yet reproducing something alike turned out into an impossible mission for me.

@_V_: Agemixers Freestyler is triplespeed. A very good 1x example is the Strobosphere - Halfway There piece. And did anyone notice the speech in Randall's latest release, Ooh Crikey?

IMHO strobosphere is unrecognizable, I've been listening to the tune for 5 mins or more when suddenly I realized that what I thought of a lame sound fx/instrument is trying to say strobosphere. And that happened with the knowledge in mind that it says somewhere "strobosphere"........

Interestingly, I only found it understandable on a real 8580 - neither the emulated one, or a6581, worked for me.
