Phonemes mode
Allows for the easy selection of fundamental phoneme groups, such as “Vowels” and “Consonants,” and provides straightforward controls for pitch and speed adjustments.
While providing fundamental control over pitch and speed, it’s a straightforward function ideal for those just starting their journey in speech synthesis and sound exploration.
This requires just a gate signal to get started…
Latency
From the Gate signal to the start of the speech, the latency is relatively tiny: 30 ms to 80 ms.
