TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR

via this auction
"This is the voice synth that Kraftwerk, (founders and Gods of all electronic music including techno, ambient, and hip hop), used for the song "The Numbers" and "Computer World". Think back to the song phrases: money-numbers-people-communication-bussiness in the song "Computer World" and the number counting voice synth in the song "The Numbers" and you have the best voice synthesizer ever recorded and popularized.

This unit features the English talking voice synth with a slight British accent. When combined with phrases, individual words contained in the module vocabulary has over 3,000 statements and questions commonly used when visiting another country. As mentioned above, the unit for sale features a English robot voice which translates words and phrases entered into the unit via the keypad in German, Spanish, And French. You can spend hours playing with this talking wonder which was the parent technology to the world acclaimed "Speak and Spell"

As written on the box:

Choose one or more Plug in language modules from our growing selection. Just plug in the module, and the translator will speak the language and show you how to say many words, phrases and sentences-especially those most useful for travelers. The Solid State Speech Technology that gives the module its "voice" is unique. This remarkable Texas Instruments innovation electronically duplicates the human vocal tract on a single chip of silicon. Its the remarkable talking language translator with electronic voice and brain. Translates, pronounces and displays words, phrases and sentences.

The cool thing about these units is that different modules can be installed in the back of the unit for translation to English, Spanish, German, and French. I currently have all of the units for sale on ebay in separate auctions so if your interested in having all of the modules available then look for my other Ebay auctions. No one has ever made a sampling CD of this historical piece of electronica and it could be a source of extra money for whoever creates samples of all modules and sells as wave files. Also the unit has a 1/8" output to send to your mixer/interface/sampler.

The auction includes the unit, case, and copy of the manual. The unit works just fine on batteries and I have never had or tried to use the unit by plugging into the wall although there is a AC plug on the unit."

Elektron Octatrack Microtiming


YouTube Uploaded by Catabolicdj on Mar 19, 2011

"This is a real quick introduction to using microtiming on the Octatrack and an application of it. Sometimes a loop may be largely in mono and you might want to make the stereo width seem broader. Here we have a high-hat slice on two tracks. On the first track it is panned all the way to the left and on the second track it is panned all the way to the right. You can then move the second hat around with microtiming to get a broader width."
