In 2017 the production of new voicebanks ceased with Marie Ork "Clear" and Leora having been confirmed the last voicebanks being produced for the software. Plogue noted that the engine was designed to have user made vocal support from the beginning, though this was yet to be implemented due to a lack of support for this.

One such adaptation is the ability for the engine to detect Microsoft text-to-speech voices and load them into the engine. Plogue have since moved on to other adaptations of the engine. No more vocals are due after Leora and Marie Orks final two vocal updates. In January 2016 it was announced that there were 6 new vocals in production. Over time Plogue have received many vocal requests from individuals since the release of the software, however they are limited by their small development team and being busy. The vocals come as files that need to be extracted as they lack installers. The released vocals are purchased separately. There are currently only 2 released vocals for the software. It is capable of running different speech engines.

Vocals are clean-cut though robotic sounding and the software is ideal for vocal experimentation. It operates in a similar manner to Chipspeech. It was offered as a free plug-in and is used for music making to produce singing vocals. Every tweak has to be done at the SFZ file level, no cheating!sforzando is also a name given for a sudden change in music dynamics which, in musical notation, is represented by the “sfz” symbol.Alter/Ego is a text-to-speech synthesizer which aims to create more modern vocals, working to post 1990s research. sforzando has only one instrument slot no fancy UI, effects or mixers. Advanced sample hobbyists now have a powerful tool to experiment and share instruments without relying on proprietary formats. Sforzando is a free, highly SFZ 2.0 compliant sample player. Not willing to just copy the past, we designed a NEW synthesizer that features the same sound generation found in these synthesizers, but this time with much more processing power to control and modulate its features, all in a convenient virtual instrument form.

Some of the most well known examples of synthesizers in this series include the PSS-140, PSS-270 mini keyboards and the SHS-10 keytar. The late 80’s ‘PSS’ series was cheesy and made of plastic but had a very unique sound which was lost to time. The first in our new chipsynth line is a unique two operator FM synth with a very quirky feature set.

chipsynth PortaFM: Vintage ‘portable’ FM synthesizer chipspeech also features a circuit bending emulation, letting you not only recreate the insane and chaotic sound of a circuit bent TI speaking device, but also use it in a controlled, musical way. It’s a true synthesizer, the sound can be extensively modified for easy and expressive performances. It is specially tailored for musical needs – simply type in your lyrics, and then play on your MIDI keyboard. It features 12 different voices, each with its own characteristic timbre. chipspeech: Vintage speech synthesizerĬhipspeech is a vintage-style speech synthesizer which recreates the sound of famous 80′s voice synthesis chips.

Nostalgic for vintage sound encodings, 80s computer speakers, or the SPC Delay from a famous 16-bit console? chipcrusher’s got all that, plus grit (background noise) and filter-impulse responses. This software synth turns your VST, AU or AAX host into a classic video game console, vintage 8-bit home computer and even an 80′s arcade.Plogue chipsounds authentically emulates 15 vintage 8-bit era sound chips (on top of their variants), down to their smallest idiosyncrasies.But more interestingly, it also faithfully allows you to dynamically reproduce the accidentally discovered sounds effect tricks and abusive musical techniques that were made famous by innovative chip music composers and classic video game sound designers, which for the good part of the last 3 decades, have pushed beyond the boundaries of the original chip designs.In short, whether you are already versed into chiptune/chip music or just interested in those sounds, this is one unique instrument for you! The new paradigm of computer audio can be summed up in two words: “real-time” and “modular” – both of which are embodied by one application… chipsounds: 8-bit soft synth As he performs, a musician decides to add an LFO to a synth’s filter cutoff knob, where no LFO existed before. It gets better: A sound is broken down into 256 individual bands, then each is tweaked one at a time in a unique way.
