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?

I think it sounds quite similiar on a real and an emulated 8580 (talking about the latest Sidplay2 here). I never bothered to check it out on the 6581, but boy, what a difference! Now I can understand Oswald took this as a lame soundeffect. :-) |

I thinkg speech synthesis can best be implemented by studying the way that humanspeech works.
1. The vocalcords -> oscillator
2. Human head and body function as -> resonators and thereby generate formants (resonant frequencies that stay the same nomatter what pitch is played/sung). These can be made using other 2 oscillators and determine the character of the voice: male, female, chipmunk etc.
3. The mouth is like a lowpassfilter that determines the vowel that sounds: try it out.. make all vowels and make the hole of your mouth wider or smaller: you will hear automatically that all vowels pass when you start making sound with yourmouth openwide and then gently close your mouth: A - O - U - I ...
4. consonants are prolly best made by using noise

For nata, I guess anything less than the text-to-ringmod utility will not do, though. Maybe it's already been done, but kept secret? Hmmm? :-I |

another speech example I did, allthough not very appropriate for the demo its used in, it fits the obvious music:

it sounds a bit scandinavian, though. (as pointed out by Agemixer) |

on 0:25 it says "go!" in this tune ;-)) At least it should have been like that, but I didn't tweak it for too long.. just enough to sound like a low quality sample ;-).

I once tried hard to make sound of old rusty door.. it was helluwa hard and sounded more like cow's moo... ;-)
Pacman eating pills and ghost sounds in backgroud in "The Revenge of Big Emulator" were quite easy though.. ;-)) Okay but that was coin-up to commie not human speech.

anyway.. it sounds like a nice challege.. do you think it's worth to make compo around it? ;-))) Like..
make the best rendition of sentence... e.g. "C64 scene rulez!" ;)) Or better.. make a tune around that sentence too ;-) |

without having any knowledge and without wanting to shamelessly promote a crappy tune, but this one does make use of ringmodded vocals: http://www.c64.sk/files/sidcompo5/error_23.sid
ah .. what gives, that guy sucks at doing vox. a certain jch-depacking-tool might give an insight there tho. |

Roman, that pacman tune is the greatest thing ever! There's even a very Armalyte sounding instrument in there somewhere :) |

I like your Kung Fu Master tune. Inspiring sounds, esp. the basedrum is cool.
I think the idea of speechsynth compo is nice.. Hope there are people willing to spend an evening on 1 word. :) |
