synths 4 toddlers

[Stewart Pye]

Howdy,

Yesterday I was reading a 1977 wireless world article about the
"chatterbox". It's a voice synthesizer box that has a joystick to alter two
resonant filters, a slide pot for pitch, and touch switches to select
different noise tones. They said in the right hands it can make
intelligable speech, but it's also usefull for autistic children.... and
maybe even normal ones!! 

I'll have to build on and try it out.
