Bob did, however, write a few of the very earliest episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philly! They had to change the title when Don Buchla's people got wind of it.

Great video - love the ST

Atomosynth & L.E.P. are really good boutique synths that offer interesting & different from the usual sounds & possibilities, particularly like the unusual approach of Laboratorio Elettronico Populare! Keep up the programming & creativity!

A piece of the story that almost never gets told is that digital synthesis existed (albeit non-realtime) since at least 1957, with MUSIC-N. It was likely mostly sine waves until John Chowning started doing FM stuff with it in the 1970s. The successor to MUSIC-N is Csound, which is a fun rabbit hole to go down. I've done a fair amount of experimentation in Csound, but never finished a piece ...because not finishing things is how I roll. A MUSIC-N voice synthesis version of "Daisy Bell" was allegedly the inspiration for that iconic computer shutdown scene in 2001, A Space Odyssey.

is there a softsynth of this or one similar? The best thing I've found is Vital's text to wavetable feature

Ooh, that's a cool idea. Have to get back to the studio to try this out. Thanks

Cool video.

this actually brings memories from the past , thank U 🙂

Huh.. I've got an Atari ST 520 under my bed. Had no idea i could have been making music with it 😮

Somewhat reminds me of the Voder :)

Shall we play a game…….

Thank you for this clip! I never bought , all my disks came with a second hand purchased ST in the mid 90's, and yes, ST speech was probably included. I used this voice extensively in cheesy dance music.

I am further in from Vancouver between the FVR/Canyon. My wife has Autism I myself am a Type 1 Diabetic (Mellitus) I have 9 synths. Into synths due to undying, love of EDM, VGM (Nobuo Uematsu), and creative outlet. Like yourself, sound design is paramount. Great content!

Humanoid

i am probably the only one being incredibly off-topic with this. But i really hope you can get that CRT fixed. The geometry isn't looking so good.

Das Boot 1 2 3 Techno!

wow i had forgotten about that program on atari. ive still got 2 of them with that mono screen in the loft with a copy of logic and ‘ahem’ that copy of cubase everyone had. what i wanted to say is i did manage to find an original speak and spell in a charity shop. what struck me at time i found it is its hardwired power supply and home made jack plug output. it gets me thinking, i wonder if my old speak and spell was ever used in a studio or a band for something iconic? 😳😮😬😃⚛️☯️👾👽

Been into synthesizers and sound design for 50 years, got my autism diagnosis last month. I did have a similar feeling of things about me I thought were special were suddenly pathologized... "Sensory Sensitivity"? Yep, I'm a golden-ears person for an audio company. Sensory seeking and stimming? Yep, monstrously loud Buchla-esque weird noises for hours on end. "Rotating Special Interests"? I'll ditch synths altogether for a few months in favor of guitar or chess.

Shoutout to youtube synth synaesthete Hainbach. Dude feels timbre in his fingertips.

Blackout by overload. Classic eurobeat banger. I had no idea the speech came from this but I instantly recognized it.

Thank you for the insight into your perspective. I found your talk captivating and illuminating.

Many times I understand that people are hinting at something, but I can’t always decode what it is. This has led to a lot of frustration both on their part and mine.

Love it.

Hi, is that the Doepfer A-156 Quantiser you have? Very interesting thank you I have the 960/962 allied to a Model D and Neutron.

nice flashback

Amigaaaa

I used to love getting these things to speak French for example: “bor zhoor may zah mee”!

And it should stay forgotten

I remember hearing a 90s techno cover of Yes Sir I Can Boogie using this around 1994, but I've never been able to find that version again. I particularly remembering its stumbling way of pronouncing Boogie-Woogie.

Thankyou for sharing sounds wicked

Aphex used this on his polygon window album “electronic techno music” “acid mind population” (UT1-dot)

A great emulation of this with almost identical results is "DSpeech" for Windows, freeware; i used it a lot on my tracks.

Ive seen many people use this song? Do i need permission to use it because i would like to

All your base are belong to us😅

anyone knows where do get it?

A genuinely fascinating video, thank you! - I had no idea about the history/post work of the authors (I got st speech as part of my discovery pack so just assumed it was made by Atari). And it's not entirely forgotten ; Billain used it in his 2023 neurofunk track 'F4K YOO' (which is NSFW btw) - at least I'm pretty sure it's ST Speech.

I remember from my childhood that there was a pc dos tennis game from the mid 80's which announced the scores and tennis lingo(like "fifteen love") via speech, over the pc speaker. The game wasn't much fun, but it turned out that the speech wasn't prerecorded, it was generated on-the-fly by an external program that shipped with the game. You could run the program and give it text to speak as a parameter. That was a LOT more fun than the actual game was...

i had to watch this rather interesting video more than just once... simply because i was very distracted by the lava lamp! ;-) thanx & cheers! :-) listening to your music next... *waving*

What’s the track in the background? It’s unbelievably good, I need to know what it is

I like the background music in this. Who's the author of it?

"Maximum velocity" "One two three techno" Missed oportunity 😁

It sounds very similar to others I remember, but I never had an ST sadly. I remember SAM on Amiga and C64, and also this sounds a lot like one I remember at EPOCT back in the day. Also that Atari monitor is bass ass!

It's absolutely fantastic! A cool tip if you are using plugins - record ST Speech then put it through the granular engine of Omnisphere or Pigments etc. Marvelous fun!

Ah. Dr Alban. Enter choice, enter choice. It's my life.

Cool video and facts! I remember the software a little. Had both st and amiga

It reminds me of Kraftwerk.

Vocoders lool yes I remember hahahaha I will def sub :) Thanks and again hugs from Toledo, Spain ♥ ♥

Hello Zöe, hugs from Spain :) Thanks for the Video :) I never used synth with amiga500 but i know about that :) (I was C64 user and the synth was very limited lol) Although we had a very good SID Chip! I later worked with Pc (Soundblaster PRO, later Roland) By the way, the voiceprogram you could really manipulate, if you write Nö and pitch it down, and write it NöNöNöNöNöNöNöNöNö it later was like a motor sound lol

"have you got any funky beats for me today" classic from Bassomatic's In The Realm of the Sences

one is great example of using U-96 - Das Boot. Thanks for the video!
