How Does the komputer sing!?!

Does anyone know how you make a computer sing? I won't name names, but certain medieval-hatted whizbang may be of help due to "My Favourite Handheld". I think Dauerfish used this effect too. I crave it.

Have you got a Mac or a PC?

(Whatever happened to that band Komputer?)

If its a mack then you can use simpletext to make it speak, you can then sample this and use the sampler to give the words, or sylables, tone and fit them to the song. Cylob uses this quite effectively in 'rewind' and 'cut the midrange drop the bass'.

If you don't have a Mac, there's a free online text-to-speech synthesizer here. It'll auto-generate aiff files from the output, too, which is nice, and has support for a couple of different languages. There's tons of software available for doing stuff like this online--a list of links is available here. The trick is finding freeware, unless you've got money to throw around on audio generating/processing software.

Computers don't sing, you idiot.

THANX GEETA!I WILL CHECK IT OUT

Cornelius told me there's a really good, simple program that's freeware, and he told me the name, but I've managed to forget it. It's got a really generic name, like Voice Composer or something. Will try and find out. It's the effect he used on 'Brazil'.

I think it's VocalWriter.

thats exactly the song that inspired me to ask! i've been aware of the idea of it, but i suddenly had the desire to get the ability so I can make covers of songs in the old seventies style of "switched on" . Espaecially since lately I have been feeling like IVY writes nice songs but recourds crappy versions of the songs. THREAD MUTATION : I wonder how Cornelius and Takako 's baby is doing?

Also: many times is of course not computer singing but vocoder.
