Circuit Bent Synth Lot w/ Super Speak & Spell

I don't believe I've seen a Super Speak & Spell before.

via the listing: "Toys for a Circuit Bent Project

The speak & spells are untested.

The MT 86 is in rough shape with grime and the lower keys octave doesn't work. The rest including the drums seem to function as should. This is through the power adapter as the battery compartment is corroded and I believe the rom is too? I'm not sure but not guaranteed.

The SA 8 and the China Synth w/ Mic input both seem to be fully functional but not guaranteed so Parts Only, please understand that"

"Why is it every time I watch that movie I can't seem to get it out of my head for days? That background atmosphere just seems to bounce around in my skull as if I was in a constant trance. Seemed the only way to get it out of my head was to give it a go with some eurorack modules.

Modules used:

Mi Elements run through a Grendel Formant filter modulated by bubblesound uLFO. E350 Morphing Terrarium run through Korg MKP2s set on tape Echo. Speak & Read run through a ZDSP with Halls of Valhalla cart. The over all pumping sound is a MI Braids with a AD Sequencer 1 controlling pitch. The Sequencer 1 also controls pitch of e350 and the Elements."

Circuit bent Speak & Spell vs Plogue chipspeech

Published on Aug 3, 2015 Plogue Art et Technologie, Inc.

"The next version of chipspeech (free for any current users) will include the official Speak & Spell vocabulary files. For this occasion we've decided to do a comparison between our own 'bent' S&S and chipspeech's emulated TMS5XXX engine.

The output is post-processed with chipcrusher's S&S impulse and a slight bit of verb was added to match the ambiance of our office."

Speak & Read & Talko by Deladriere

Uploaded on May 14, 2015 Ninstrument.com

via Ninstrument

"Finally had a chance to match these guys up head to head in a little jam and I have to say I think Deladriere's Talko wins on all fronts. Easy to manipulate, easy to reprogram (within reason) and the big upside is there is no harming any existing Speak & *'s! The Speak & Read says 'here' and 'level' only throughout this entire demo. Everything else is the Talko!!

Also showing off the Euro version of the Moog Minataur controlled by a Sequencer 1 by Audio Damage. MI Peaks in there too.

Eurorack Speak & Read Eurorack Module by Ninstrument

Published on Oct 27, 2014 Ninstrument.com

"Custom Speak&Read made just for eurorack modular. Many hours were spent to try and zero in on the registers that had complete phonemes and words. More info van be found at www.Ninstrument.com"

Chris Blarsky over at Ninstrument.com wrote in to let us know about his Eurorack version of the Speak&Read: "I Spent a considerable amount of time getting this one just right. Wanted more than a glitch machine, so spent copious amounts of time working out most of the key registers that formed actual words. This module uses many existing hacks into those registers. Props especially go out to highlyliquid.com for nailing down most of what was necessary!"

And via Ninstrument.com:

"I have had so many of these as bent toys that I thought it was time to make a eurorack module of one. Lots of time spent trying to nail down the right registers for the best phonemes and words. Very fast response means you can use quick triggers and for longer glitches you can use longer gates. The response has been a little over whelming to this as I knew there were a few out there who loved these, but had no idea that it was this many!!"
