"Terminal is a standalone modular speech synthesizer containing Emy and a little PCB to provide power and extended connectivity.
It is powered via a USB connector. The casing allows adding any of the Vox modules inside just by removing four screws.
Terminal / EMY can be used in a CV-controlled environment or act as a MIDI instrument.
You can install the various firmware on the SD card before powering the device.
A pair of shunts allows the user to connect Terminal either as a MIDI USB unit or as a host for a USB keyboard for text entry. TRS jack MIDI Type B connector.
Emy is a versatile speech synthesizer that can host a hardware synthesizer on its back via a mikroBUS port. This port allows transforming Emy in a matter of a minute. TMS5220/TMS5100 / TMC0281 (Speak & Spell) included.
LPC data are read from the SD card so an infinite vocabulary can be loaded
Sound and vocabulary can be produced by concatenating allophones and prosody markers from the text file to affect rate, duration, and pitch. No limits here!
The OLED crisp display allows browsing amongst the files and the lines within files to pick the sound the user wants to generate.
Speech rendering can be tweaked in real-time to affect, rate, stretch, bend, pitch, and energy.
All the potentiometers have CV entries attached to them
Emy produces sounds in 3 major modes: Speech, Repeat, and VCO.
In Speech mode, the speech starts with a gate signal and is completed before waiting for a new gate signal. The speech has priority.
In Repeat mode, the speech starts and stops with the gate signal going high or low.
The gate has the priority, and the speech repeats while the gate is high. This mode is handy to create crazy rhythms.
In VCO mode, the LPC engine loops while the gate is high, producing steady notes."
