Speech Synthesizer - SP0256 (Circa 1992)

click through for mouse-overs of the components.

"I recently found this project from 1992 while opening boxes from our house move.
I guess you could call it a self contained speak jet unit. The eeprom is cycled via the 4040 to pluck the 'phenomes' from the sp0256-al2 to string robotic words together.
Using the venerable SP0256 speech chip and an eeprom to string the speech elements along this hardware interpretation could be a standalone speech unit. It is sadly not fully functional at present and due to its age not likely to get to my test bench quickly for diagnosis. In it's hay day it said such things as "Hello I am a computer", "Electronics is fun" "G0CPV" and my name.
The timing crystal for those of you who know this chip, is on the backside of the board.
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them."

Keytar Player

"Someone playing keytar in Santana Row, San Jose, Califorina. I guess it is a Roland AX-7. When I heard the music I really thought there was a guy playing guitar.

I've always wanted someone to play music just for me

"Listening to you as you play for me, brings a smile to my face. I'm finally free of all this angst i kept inside. It's you and me , as great as can be. For us , together as one. There I am, day dreaming again. As I walk these streets, everyone appears to be hand-in-hand with someone they care about. What about me? Why is it the only one that holds my hand is my shadow? I've always wanted someone to play music for me Maybe the music would be what would bring us together."

Elka X-705

"This thing is pretty insane - a double manual organ with drawbars, a bunch of instrument presets, an analog drum machine, and a wonderfully cheesy monophonic synth with 11 presets.

Apparently it was made from 1977-81, and was played by Jean-Michael Jarr.

The synth ("Solo Presets") is working great, as is the drum machine, and the "piano" and "clavi-chord" presets. The synth sounds can be modified if you press the "var" button. I have uploaded some sound samples here."

via Rebel Bass NZ

Update via Ian156 in the comments: "There was a pedal board with it, you could drop the entire "cheesy" synth section down there, for a bass guitar or 'oumpa' bass brass, tuba sort of thing.

The drawbars were in the 'right' Hammond order too. Some of the Japanese organs like Kawais understandably, had them in numerical order. The major 3rd harmonic from the 5 1/3 makes quite a difference. Mellows the registration. To be honest. I've a modern Technics now, but those string/cello choruses (yellow) weren't half bad, event compared to modern digi strings. Ideal "Moon River" and "When you wish upon a star" Mantrovani sort of stuff. In a review of the time, they put the piano in the "not bad" class. There were some howlers about. But some of todays cheaper keyboards arent any better. Its a smashing bit of kit. Look after it. It was a 70s space age version of the 60s Hammond B3 complete with Jerry Anderson style flashing buttons. But its a gem. Try "Whiter shade of pale" on it, if you have the Leslie speaker cabinet working."
