Definitely stranger than I expected, but awesome!
My own little Maya demo.
”Maya” is one of the online companions of my R1N interactive website. I’ve created a vocabulary of 312 words grouped into 8 banks and created a VCV Rack module for sample playback. I hope to have it launch before Christmas for free. 
Although the R1N application is uncensored, the module doesn’t contain any adult themes.
Here’s the vocabulary list:
const std::vector<std::string> BANK_0_PRONOUNS = {
"everyone", "he", "her", "him", "his", "I", "it", "me", "mine", "my",
"nobody", "one", "our", "she", "someone", "them", "their", "they",
"us", "we", "you", "your", "yours"
};
// Bank 1: Verbs & Actions
const std::vector<std::string> BANK_1_VERBS = {
"am", "are", "be", "believe", "break", "build", "burn", "call", "come",
"dance", "fade", "fall", "feel", "fly", "forget", "give", "go", "grow",
"hate", "hear", "hold", "hurt", "is", "kiss", "know", "let", "love",
"make", "miss", "move", "need", "remember", "rise", "run", "say", "see",
"sing", "speak", "spin", "take", "tell", "think", "touch", "walk",
"want", "was", "watch"
};
// Bank 2: Descriptors & Adjectives
const std::vector<std::string> BANK_2_DESCRIPTORS = {
"afraid", "alive", "all", "angry", "bad", "big", "bright", "broken",
"cold", "dark", "dead", "deep", "enough", "false", "fast", "found",
"free", "good", "happy", "hard", "high", "hot", "less", "light",
"lonely", "lost", "loud", "low", "more", "new", "none", "old", "quiet",
"real", "sad", "slow", "small", "soft", "still", "too", "true", "warm",
"whole", "wild"
};
// Bank 3: Objects & Nouns
const std::vector<std::string> BANK_3_NOUNS = {
"arms", "blood", "body", "bones", "death", "door", "dream", "earth",
"edge", "eyes", "fear", "fire", "hands", "head", "heart", "home",
"hope", "lie", "life", "mind", "moon", "pain", "peace", "place",
"rain", "road", "room", "sea", "skin", "sky", "soul", "stars", "storm",
"sun", "time", "truth", "wall", "war", "water", "wave", "wind", "world"
};
// Bank 4: Connectors & Prepositions
const std::vector<std::string> BANK_4_CONNECTORS = {
"a", "an", "and", "around", "away", "back", "because", "between", "but",
"by", "down", "for", "from", "here", "if", "in", "into", "like", "off",
"on", "or", "out", "over", "so", "than", "the", "then", "there",
"through", "to", "under", "up", "with", "without"
};
// Bank 5: Time & Place
const std::vector<std::string> BANK_5_TIME = {
"after", "again", "always", "autumn", "before", "day", "evening",
"forever", "hour", "moment", "morning", "never", "night", "now", "once",
"season", "sometimes", "soon", "spring", "summer", "today", "tomorrow",
"tonight", "when", "winter", "year", "yesterday"
};
// Bank 6: Emotions & States
const std::vector<std::string> BANK_6_EMOTIONS = {
"bliss", "change", "chaos", "despair", "doubt", "escape", "faith",
"freedom", "glory", "grace", "grief", "guilt", "joy", "madness",
"magic", "mercy", "power", "rage", "shadow", "shame", "silence",
"sorrow", "surrender", "trust", "wonder"
};
// Bank 7: Numbers & Quantities
const std::vector<std::string> BANK_7_NUMBERS = {
"both", "eight", "first", "five", "four", "half", "hundred", "last",
"million", "nine", "only", "seven", "six", "ten", "thousand", "three",
"twice", "two", "zero"
};
// Bank 8: Questions & Interjections
const std::vector<std::string> BANK_8_QUESTIONS = {
"ah", "even", "hey", "hmm", "how", "just", "maybe", "no", "oh", "ooh",
"please", "really", "right", "sorry", "thanks", "uh", "well", "what",
"where", "which", "who", "why", "wow", "wrong", "yes", "yet"
};

Aw shucks. I just noticed a spelling error on the Impulse faceplate - Exitation instead of Excitation
Ah! Thanks for pointing it out. I’ll add it to my to-do list. I’ve always been a terrible speller. That, and math, have always been difficult for me.

I’d like a license please? Would be happy to support but remembering what you said a while ago I figured I’d come to you before accidentally spending money again, even if it’s for a good cause… this one seems mysterious and worth a listen and might be the key to winding me up for the weekend after a bit of a break from modules this week
Sent you a DM.
Hello everyone! The “Circuit Bender” module is now available for sale in the VCV Rack library for $10. It’s very similar sounding to a circuit bent Speak and Spell, and have internal pin patching for circuit bending.
A few features that you may not be aware of:
Yes, it has a dark panel!
It has these circuit board visualization options:
- Just lines and circles
- Lines and circles superimposed on a darkened circuit board
- Lines and circles superimposed on a “normal” circuit board
- An additional voice bank that wasn’t in the demos. I just noticed that the right-click menu lists a few voice banks that didn’t make it into production. The actual voice banks are:
| Bank | Name | Word Count | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | US Large | 495 words | Military vocabulary |
| 1 | TI99 | 360 words | TI-99/4A Speech Synthesizer |
| 2 | Acorn | 157 words | British (Acorn computer) |
| 3 | Eastern | 204 words | Eastern vocabulary |
| 4 | HelloTest | 1 word | Test vocabulary |
| 5 | Breakbeats | 1255 words | Breakbeat textures |

Oh, that’s the way, uh-huh, uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
Cool stuff, grabbed 
To dev’s - more things for voice synthesizing please.
Thank you so much for creating this wonderful monster!! What is the best way to trigger it-LFO or sequencer? An instant buy! Hope you enjoy Christmas and produce more wonders in the year yet to come. Much appreciated.

So excited about this one! Grabbing now!

I’ve submitted my “Maya” module to the VCV Rack library. It’s going to be free.
I’ve been triggering it with a sequencer’s gate output.
I hope you enjoy it!

Don’t remember “maya” what is it?
I posted about it around 4 days ago: Voxglitch Community Feedback - #1555 by clone45
It’s not exactly voice synthesis, but there’s voice involved! I’d love to make a “vocaloid” style module someday!

I’m kind of lost with “Maya”. If it isn’t voice synthesis (like VCV Library - NYSTHI SAM , or the shabda function in Strudel), then is it a kind of WAV collection?
I had a lot of fun doing Vocaloid music a few years back. It would be fun to have something similar in Rack.
Here are a couple of links to my SoundCloud from 9 years ago where I use Vocaloid for vocals.
It would be fun to do that type of work again.

So it’s a different speech synthesizer module from Circuit Bender? I await its arrival and while I wait I have a fresh new module to experiment with plus what’s new with JWModules
Exactly. It’s just a sample player with a preset WAV collection. Extremely simple.
But, I’ll take this opportunity to slip in some fun news: All Voxglitch samplers from my main collection can load .mp3 files now. This update has already rolled out.

Greetings. Perhaps a long-shot request, but wondering if you’d be willing/able to add some of the Lomas Advanced Sampler (which hasn’t been updated since 2021) features to your Wav Bank modules - Start/End times (w/ CV in), Attack/Decay (w/ CV in), and end of cycle (w/ CV out).
Regardless, thanks for all the great work.
Happy Holidays!!
