Input
Hand-written phonemes always win. Edit here to correct
the converter. Add a trailing colon to stress a phoneme —
R OH: V AH K AA: N lengthens the two strong syllables.
Utterance set
The eight shipping lines — Doc 10 §3B.5 plus the stair-fall reversal (README §2.1).
Classics reel
Impressions of the golden age, rendered through this synth — original hardware labeled. Only the Votrax games were phoneme synthesis like this one. Robotron is absent because it never spoke: the Williams voice you remember is Sinistar’s.
Presets
Hover for a description. “Clean” shows what this sounds like without the vintage treatment — useful for hearing how much work the degradation is doing.
Output
Energy above 4 kHz should stay near zero — that confirms the chip-rate bandwidth limit is applying. If it climbs above 5%, the most important part of the vintage character is not working.
Parameters
Highlighted sliders are the three that matter most.
Several of these make the output objectively worse by
conventional measures — that is the point. See
docs/tuning.md before “improving” anything.
