Quick user instructions

⚠️ make sure to orient the module as shown in the image gallery

Phoneme

The user can use the rotary to choose a group to play: Vowels/Voiced/Voiced Stop/Voiceless/All Allophone/All Effects/DTMF

Using the switch position to set the priority to:

the gate signal. The gate going high will trigger the speech and it will be stopped with the gate going low (Gate mode). try to play with the duty cycle of the gate or the clock signal.
optimized transitioning (Queue mode). Play with the Speed function to fill up the buffer and ear the transition work. The green led and the AUX jack will turn on and off reflecting the buffer half-full status.
to the allophone timing itself (Speech mode)

Number

There are three modes to generate numbers: CV controlled, Looping or Random.

SD DIC

The code will read a phonetic file and allow the user (or the code in the loop and random mode) to choose a line from that file.

Example of the file content:

along: \UX \LO \OH \OH \SLOW \NGO
alpha: \AY \LE \FAST \FF \UX
alphabet: \AY \LO \FAST \FF \FAST \AX \STRESS \SOFT \BE \EY \SLOW \TT
already: \AW \LE \FAST \RR \EY \DE \IY
also: \SLOW \AW \SLOW \LO \SLOW \SO \OWWW
although: \FAST \OH \SLOW \LO \DH \SLOW \OWWW
always: \SLOW \AW \LE \WW \EYIY \SLOW \SE

User control

The potentiometer P1-P5 affects the pitch, rate, bend, repeat, and volume.

While playing with the interface, the display contextually shows the information about the changes made (rotary, switch, and potentiometers)

A long click brings the user back to the main menu.

A double click in the SD DIC mode brings the user to the file selection menu.

There is a screen saver that will activate after 10 minutes. Turn the rotary to reactivate the display.
