Personally i realy like speach synthese what ever
signal synthese methods are used in the process.

For musical use i do aprechiate the device's used
to be able to do as freaky speach as possible.

Remember the Curra micro speach folks!
Not to mention the Atari 1040, Amiga, creative labs,
and several other speach machines.

Infact one of the nestors in speach synthese is
Gunnar Fant, he was a researcher at KTH's stockholm
(swedden) laboratory of speach with his OVE, Musse 1 and 2
machines.

Not to memntion Homer Dudely and the Voder a 1939 invention!

Pees,love, and ear greese!
