The following is a speaking patch, the voice of Urs himself:

BTW: We have 4 oscillators, so with a bit of jiggery-pokery, we should be able to get a few more words into a single patch. Loving it!

That's bloody brilliant!

One would expect a much more complex patch. The best I could do so far is........... http://teksonik.googlepages.com/IsItTalking.h2p

Here's a quick edit that makes "Zebra" sound like a question. A little bit?

Here's a couple of my attempts at teaching Zebra to "speak". Hopefully they approach something like intelligible speech, but there's definitely room for improvement.

Bass using billstei's latest 32-wave version:

Doesn't use MSEG 3 and 4

+1 to hakey's "I am Debrah"

My latest "Zebra" attempt: I am Zz...

I think this is possibly my best effort so far (though that's not saying much). I don't know what it is about the /z/ sound but it's a difficult one to really nail.

Anyway, hopefully it's more Zebra than Deborah

Okay, I knew 40 years of synth tweaking would not have been wasted on you, so before I go completely nuts, how is it that the volume envelope of OSC2 is delayed? I am fully prepared to feel really stupid about this...

I just assumed your Zebra's name was Deborah.

AAAAAAGHh I get it... OSC2 Wave1 is blank. Oh that's cheating.

billstei · Post by **billstei** » Wed Jun 10, 2009 3:54 pm

What a

cheat though. If I had known this I would have split the two halves into 15 pieces, 30 total, and spec'd it OSC1 Wave1-15 and OSC2 Wave2-16.

P.S. Or is it 29? ha. maybe

I suppose it's a fair assumption to make - good name for a zebra, Deborah.

Well, here's one last attempt: I am Zeb

I think I've got a passably recognisable /z/ this time...

"Thou Whoreson Zed! Thou Unnecessary Letter!"
