Description

Prepare your text file in Romaji and have Kaiwa read it out loud for you!

Just in case you wonder how Romaji look like: here is the Japanese lyrics of Kraftwerk’s Radioactivity :

cherunobuiri
harisuba-gu
serafi-rudo
hiroshi-ma
fukushi-ma
nihon,demo,houshanou
kyoumo,itsumademo
fukushima,houshanou
kuuki,mizu,subete
nihon,demo,houshanou
i-ma--sugu,ya-mero-

note: the hyphen is used to prolong the vowels (see the Kaiwa-vox’s manual for more on this)

Workflow

Group your lines into a song and save it as a text file on the SD card :

On Kaiwa, manually pick a song and use the Sound pot or its CV entry to pick the line in that song.

A gate signal will trigger the sound while the various pot and CV entries allow tweaking the voice characteristics before processing the speech (not in real-time, but they are applied on the next utterance).

USB TTS mode

This little demo to shows how to use the USB TTS mode on Kaiwa. This function is designed to help you debug your Japanese romaji lines before storing them into a text file for the SD card. (see the user manual for more details).

The speech is triggered by the gate signal, so this mode can also be used to edit and play live text.
