Automating the vibrato (or controlling it via mod wheel) and expression can sound quite expressive and emotional. More whispery sounds also sound more human. It’s quite an eerie feeling when after a few robotic words a longer note shows up, vibrato kicks in, and Daisy suddenly sounds very human for a second or two, before suddenly turning robotic again. Cartoonish voices with the helium turned up also sound good, in an obviously unnatural way.ĭaisy is a robot but she can sound quite human, especially when singing longer syllables. Male vocals sound more synthetic and more subdued. Soundĭaisy seems at her best with higher female vocals – she sounds most convincing and powerful there. More than a voice, Daisy is also a character – from what I see on her Twitter account she currently seems to be romantically involved with Dandy 704, the Chipspeech voice based on the technology IBM used to synthesize the song “Daisy Bell” all the way back in 1961. As a way of explaining how one voice can produce all those different sounds, Plogue have cleverly made her a time-traveling robot. English and Japanese are the supported languages.ĭaisy is based on recordings of the voice of one person (Crusher-P, who also produces music using various vocal sythesizers), but is capable of both female and male voices as well as polyphonic choirs, whispering and downright out-there weirdness.

Others, like fem factor, wave speed or impulses take some trial and error to get a feel for what they really do to the sound.

There are more than two dozen controllable parameters controlling how the voice recordings are transformed into audio output, all linked to MIDI CC. Some are pretty obvious, like helium. This is quite a different starting point than other voice synthesizers, such as Vocaloid or UTAU, or vocal sample libraries with wordbuilders like Realivox Blue or the Virharmonic choirs.

TechnologyĪlter/Ego is based on Plogue’s Chipspeech platform, which recreates early attempts at synthesizing voices using vintage hardware up to 1984.

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve been beta-testing the Alter/Ego vocal synthesizer before the release and I’ve also released some sample libraries for Plogue’s Sforzando sampler. This carries over to noticing anything wrong or unnatural in synthesized voices as well. Voice synthesis is in a way the ultimate challenge when it comes to fooling the human ear – we humans are very good at noticing when something in another person’s voice is off, for example when they’re not as honest or confident as they’d like us to think. It currently has one voice available – Daisy, who is also free. It’s free and can run as standalone software, VST, AU, or RTAS/AAX plugin in 32 or 64 bits. Plogue’s Alter/Ego is a new voice synthesis platform.
