@famulyMario, how are the songs coming? And is the swich to chipspeech going to apply to all your songs if aplicable or just future ones? Because you previously said the days of the week song by Super Englis Kid was dun back when you were using vocaloid, and I never recieved a download link.

Sorry for the late reply.

As you mentioned, that song will most likely be switching to Chipspeech with a different instrumental. Don't worry this doesn't mean you'll not get the FTM or NSF, you will get it if you want to do your own version in another language. As for one of the songs that require the 27 vocal files, I will most likely be using either Acapela Ryan or Microsoft Mike or Mary, whoever works out for that song.

Sorry for the late reply. The Days of the Week Song with Chipspeech is still being worked on. I'm almost halfway done with it though, so it shouldn't take that long to finish.

One thing I'm thinking of doing is perhaps making a Macintalk version of There are Seven Days. For those who don't know, Macintalk has a tune format that allows you to have full control over the synthesizer, intonation, phoneme durations, etc. And if you tune it just the right way, you can get it to sing. However, this could take a while, partially because there is no note support and I have to input the frequencies individually. Fortunately, I have a tone chart, but it will take some time.

Oh no! Somebody released the h key! Everybody run and hide!

that sounds like a good idea, slender! macintalk has yet to be represented on the album. come to think of it, vocal writer is the only represented synth that isn't on windows (hardware synths don't count).

It took quite a while, but There are Seven Days is now finished. This one is sung by Fred. I think I'll also modify it so it can be sung by female voices, such as Princess, Vikki, etc without sounding artificial, and I'll send you that when it's finished. http://sndup.net/4vyc/d

thanks! added to album. btw, I'm still awaiting a progress update from family mario regarding his songs.

How does one use Festival, Flinger, and stuff like that? I have never had any luck in finding someone who could show me. I don't have enough space on this ol' computer to do much of anything, really. I will try and see if I can get one with more storage some day.

Good luck, ulysses! the festival version of How many days has my baby to play was dun using an online service, by the way. CSLU never released a windows binary for flinger as far as I know, which is a shame since given the right skills I could crank out some actual songs on that. same can be said with lyricos, from the same company, which never got past the prototype stage.

So what is the on-line service, Nick? t would be great if I could play around with it, unless none of us in the audio games site actually made it, which would be a total shame.

the service I used is www.text2speech.org. the service appears to be 100% accessible.
@slender, how is the second version of there are 7 days coming?
@family mario, I'm still waiting for a progress update.

I'm working on it, however this will be difficult because I keep messing up the song. Basically, I have to shift the notes up by 1 octave, and a find and replace is going to be difficult, because it keeps catching the wrong notes in the process. so I might as well do it by hand. But since I assigned a pitch to everything except unvoiced consonants, it will take a while.

Just for interest, do you mind if I release the source to both versions to have in the archive?

Please do! I want to learn how to program macintalk to sing myself! I'll most likely do an EP spin of the song being sung by all the voices.
