Previously, I had described here: how to do compress sound using a venerable Windows 3.1 tool: Qbox Pro. The process what quite long to set up and does not always produce good results. Today I discovered BlueWizard from this post. BlueWizard runs on Mac and allows to…
The rev 2 of Talko’s firmware can now play notes over 2 octaves. It may seem obvious to have a 1V/octave CV to note in a VCO mode but this was quite challenging to achieve. (I may explain the process in another post as it could…
Talko’s code has been updated with 3 new sounds banks : Bank 15 : French Vowels Male (5) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jean-Luc Deladrière (@polaxis) Bank 16 : English voiced allophones (72) Bank 17 : VCO friendly voiced allophones…
Both Talko 1.1 & 1.2 share some hardware with the Ginkosynthese Grains. The Grains is also an Arduino module (based on the famous Audino code from Peter Knight) with the 3 first analogues port being used to manipulate the sound Talko can also do this…
Adding new sounds or vocabulary for the Talkie library is not straightforward and I needed a checklist to smoothen the process. Here are the main steps : Recording audio with Audacity The recording has to be made at 8 kHz with 16-bit depth Export to…
Schematic Here is the schematic. Nothing really special : A simple RC filter I have used before with the Talkie library and a few pots to fiddle with the various functions. All the entries (cv and gate) are now protected with diodes to allow connections…
Credits This arduino based module works thanks to a clever library : Talkie from https://github.com/going-digital/Talkie I have already used this library to build a Talking clock It is so simple to use that building a sound module requires only 5 pots and a button to…
