Plogue has announced the release of its new chipspeech vintage-styled speech synthesizer which recreates the sound of famous 80's voice synthesis chips.
It features 7 different voices, each with its own characteristic timbre. It is specially tailored for musical needs – simply type in lyrics (in English or Japanese), and then play on a MIDI keyboard. It's a true synthesizer, the sound can be extensively modified for easy and expressive performances through the use of MIDI CCs or parameter automation.
chipspeech also features a circuit bending emulation, letting a user not only recreate the chaotic sound of a circuit bent TI speaking device, but also use it in a controlled, musical way.
Research and analysis for this project has been made in house on Plogue's collection of electronic speaking devices and its creation can be followed on the developer's blog.
Price: $75.
