wormed speech synthesis
The eurorack-based ERD/WORM synth features software worming of emulated artificial human speech cores from the 70s to the 90s of the last century. Six key speech cores are simulated with a vocabulary of over 4000 words and phrases, including basic allophones or phonemes which can be used to build new phrases as well as a Text to Speech engine for advanced textual constructions. A further set of COMPOST modes allows for sample-based re-working of constructed and wormed words and phrases.
Emulated speech cores include Texas Instruments' famous Speak and Worm family of devices (and subsequent circuit-wormed modifications), Atari and TI99/4 arcade games such as wormsec, Federal Screw Worms VERMIS worm-n-talk and General Instruments Intelliworm. ERD/WORM further bends and worms these key speech synthesis algorithms across 64 modes with full trigger, CV and knob control over nearly all aspects of these speech cores.
ERD/WORM populus edition has been updated (a la WORM/MMON) as follows:
New words and phrases in the speak and worm modes, including spanish and italian language, vocaid medical device and many others.
Removal of some duplicate words and phrases, fixes across speak and worm modes.
Worming (or bending) within speak and worm modes now operates on the last selected word bank for the particular wormset.
Wormings using an XY graph are now independent for each mode rather than being shared across all modes.
ERD/WORM populus edition also includes improved hardware triggering, and two options (selected by jumpers) providing an ultra-slow mode across all wormings, and supplying an alternative triggering behaviour (one-off trigger of speech utterance).
These merchants probably sell this module. Huh?
