Description
Read texts from the micro SD card in plain English.
The sound produced by S.A.M is a robotic, monotone voice with a slightly metallic quality.
The user can adjust the Pitch, Speed, Mouth, and Throat.
Note that the code is blocking, and the potentiometer positions are read during the pauses between utterances.
(only the Rate P1 can be used in real-time)
S.A.M. user Manual
SAM can read .txt file
You can try this file as an example.
Installation
Save it on the SD card with a name like “SAM.bin,” and you can load it from the code>flash menu.
The same applies to the EMY, Mea, Kaiwa, Sino & Vax firmware so that you can switch from one to another within the main menu.
This function copies the firmware to “firmware.bin” and reboots the system.
It will delete the firmware.bin but keep the original firmware on the card with its own name.

The SAM firmware sounds great. The voices that SAM produces has always been one of my favorites; its gritty, quarky but still intelligible. The code being “blocking” is not a problem; as adjusting the voice with the knobs on the panel is much faster then a slider or parameter on a computer screen like other emulators I have tried. But over all I am very happy that Polaxis has decided to include one of my all time favorites for the EMY.
