Wow, I have used this module numerous times and had no idea any of that was in there!

Contextus’ SAM1 and SAM2 offer more speech stuff; Apices’ and Mortuus’ Number Station channel 2 can count to 10 in… some language, and Nodi’s (and Braids’) VOWL, VFOF offer vowels. For completion’s sake, Funes offers the Plaits speech stuff in VOWLSPCH mode.

Thanks for the leads on other modules. I have used Pink Trombone to make speech-like sounds also. That’s a very fun module.

It is, indeed, a fun module, I’ve played around with it (and the browser version of the model); but haven’t made anything release worthy.
I used the clock (lfo) only for the macro osc
Then I reset the addr seq to step 1 and turn the small output knob until it says “Charlie”
Then I turned the Select knob on ADDR-SEQ to step 2 untill “Oscar”
etc.etc.
Then I added the clock
I posted 2 versions 1 is using the ADDR with a range of ±10V and the other (better) one of ±5V.

I started this when it was announced and didn’t quite finish it. But sort of tweaked it a bit now, added a compressor on the back, and adjusted levels as it rendered, and it’s OK, so figure what the heck, share it here.

Oh, this is VERY fun. It definitely has the scifi blinkenlights feeling to it. I love the sound design for some of the more melodic + detuned voices. Great stereo field too! Thank you Paul!

I only discovered it on some else’s YouTube demo and heard it as they scrolled the knobs…paused the video and figured out the settings and experimented until I got something. And then I found out there are easier ways and modules to get this done.

Many thanks to @cosinekitty for working out and hosting this terrific challenge, and no less to all contributors for their ingenious entries and comments! There are a couple more days to go.
Unfortunately, I am currently lacking the time to continue with the challenges. However, @cosinekitty has agreed to be your host going forward. I hope I can at least be back for an occasional patch.
I had much fun here, thank you to everyone!

Thank you, @Alphagem-O! I have a new challenge idea ready for everyone. I will post a new thread on Thursday August 1 for us all to get started. In the meantime, you still have 3 more days to submit your final starship patch(es) here! I still have one more myself… stay tuned.

Here’s my entry, sorry for the compression… I can’t seem to get the REC module to work for video, so I just used quicktime to screen record and it looks awful. Maybe I’ll figure it out eventually.
Thanks for having these monthly challenges!

For the August challenge (which starts tomorrow), in the template file I will include a mixer and hook up Audio and REC correctly to it. I will also configure the REC to save to mp4 MPEG-2 format video for upload to YouTube.
I think this will make it easier for VCV rackers who haven’t recorded videos before.

Oops. I edited my post with correction. Thanks!

I don’t remember what the issue is/was, but I never had much luck with the VCV Recorder MPEG-2 output format. I’ve resorted to recording to HuffYUV (ridiculously large files) and then converting to mp4 with VLC Media Player.

Plus I’m on Linux so… who knows??? It would be good to hear if there is a consensus video format for people on Windows and/or Mac.
