A little Sunday morning shower with two fresh Phonems:

I am working my way through the library finalizing all patches and writing the PDF with patch descriptions. Release is planned for the end of the week, so any fence-sitters, make up your mind soon if you want to save some cash.

----
EDIT:

Here comes a first basic video tutorial which covers all sorts of things from setting up Phonem to make your own patches to basic editing of utterances to modulation matrix-stuff. What I forgot to mention is, that is is useful to make an Init-template-patch yourself, if you want to avoid the notorious "Hello World"-patch which gets created on initializing Phonem. Then you can store your own Init patch in one of your Banks and recall it whenever you need a fresh Phonem.

A little fairy tale patch...

Patch description (quoted from the PDF that comes with Phonemklatura):

The beginning of a tale excited by a wavetable with a re-synthesized china cymbal (TCS sample), MW mickey-mouses the voice, X/Y1 controls mount of pan modulation/panning speed, X2 controls excitation brightness/aspiration amount, Y2 modulates formants.

As it looks now, release will be Monday, I have a bad cold atm and can only works very slowly, which might actually be good for finalizing all these Phonem patches.

I just released my first soundset for Phonem:

Phonemklatura Phonemklatura contains 108 patches (including some variations) for the unique vocal synthesize Phonem (PPG/Wolfgang Palm). These sounds are not aiming at any kind of vocal pseudo-realism, on the contrary, I am using the versatile and expressive vocal character of this synthesizer to create beautiful and delicate pads, ethereal overtone textures, fragile and edgy leads, haunting and alien voices, phonetic experiments, tempo-synced vocaloid mayhem, percussive mallet-like timbres, robotic voices, fantasy beings and other synthetic sounds only faintly reminding of their vocal origin.

Often Phonem's wavetable synthesizer is used to excite the vocal resonators using wavetables extracted from acoustic instruments like brass, woodwinds, string instruments, mallets and electronic textures with PPGs Wavemapper, expanding the possible palette of sounds even more. All sounds make extensive use of Phonem's x/y-pads which can be automated in any DAW and the modulation wheel, quite a few patches also use aftertouch.

As Phonem's onboard effects are very basic and are rarely used in any of these patches, I included some of the original LogicX demo projects containing Midi data and 3rd party effect plugins, and a Cubase 8-project with some effect chains using the native Cubase plugins, so you could use these settings as a starting point.

You can view/download the PDF for this soundset with more details, the licence agreement, and a patchlist including descriptions and playing tips here.

Specs:

*108 patches including some variations.
*159 resource files - utterances and wavetables in the native utd/wtz-format.
*15.9 MB installed
*Delivery: download
*Price: € 28 EUR

Product page.

Demos:
All demos were produced entirely with Phonem using only patches from Phonemklatura, some post-processing was applied (delay/reverb/chorus), if several instances of Phonem were used in a track, some volume automation was used.

Here is a little morning jam with two Phonemklatura patches, one of them being a bass sound with tempo-synced modulations, the other one a female vocal patch:

Could someone who uses both the regular and the new iPad version of Phonem do me a big favor and check, if the IOS version imports the Phonemklatura Bank alright? The developer confirmed that it works but I want to make sure it actually does. I don't use iPads so I can't check it out myself.
Thanks.

I don't tryed it myself because i have no iPad anymore at the moment but interested to buy the new iPad Pro in fall. There are a lot of unique things and tools for iOS (also in terms of sound design) you can't get for desktop

Of course it's a bad market to sell patch banks because apps are almost too cheap.
I saw someone in the Audiobus (iOS app) forum imports Phonemklatura and it seems to work for him.

Well, I wouldn't design patches for iOS tools as a business model, but as this soundset already existed before the iPad release of Phonem, it now seems to become quite popular amongst iPad Phnemists - good for me
