hi,

I'm passing on a recent request from a friend I'm trying to talk into using more open source sw (now he is using supercollider and logic for most of his stuff) who asked me if I knew of any (ideally realtime adjustable) speech synthesis tool based on pd or csound or the like (RTCmix anyone ?) For now all I could come up with was (nonrealtime) using rsynth, some kind of score file and a perl script to parse it and generate a sample. Also using guenthers |shell| object and d13bs |piperead~| might be an option (using the IMO pretty flexible rsynht engine aswell), and I remember seeing the millers finest example patch for jmax (which won't perform well enough on my [l|cr]aptop though ...)

has anyone worked on such things ?

all thoughts welcome

thx

x
