Yamaha Vocaloid Synth speaks and sings played words and notes

a mini keyboard to control the pitch and some keys to press to get the right parts – phonetic vowels and consonants of the Japanese Language. Please, say and sing „yamaha“, or something with Korg, Moog and Make Noise in it? eine einfache Methode: über einige Tasten werden die notwendigen Buchstaben oder Vocale gehalten und mit rechts die Melodie gespielt, um diesen Synthesizer zum sprechen zu bringen. Nach 3h soll das spielen einigermaßen gut klappen. Ein bisschen Steno, ein bisschen phonetisch gedacht – aber japanisch… Kannste mal die anderen Firmen…

Mac Pro 8GB RAM

let me show you me enjoying 2 more GB of RAM, which feel good .. note the processor & RAM board looks very much like a piece of architecture, shall we live here?… was hard to find those „old“ RAMs that fill the gap, because normally you buy a set of 2×3 or 2×4 with a lot more RAM, but that’s quite pricey, so I went for this one – get 1GB RAM each slot for the 8core Mac Pro – that’s 20€ or so, but you need to keep…

this is a drum machine with probability based functions for steps and also some nice features like automation of the waves (jumping around in a sample – sampling is possible) – so this may be interesting, this is just a teaser – so not everything is told in detail, but ..

Yamaha MX49 / MX61 Rompler

Yamaha introduced a new offspring of the Motif and the downsized MOX series – the 128voice MX49 with smaller keyboard (finally!) and the standard format. USB Editor/MIDI, audio in.. of course this is a rompler and based on workstation style structure like a smaller MO-X , so it’s a lot like the new MM6. But it was and is time to get the idea of keyboards do not need to be larger than 60 keys by default, .. hope to see this on the big models as well, 3.5 Octaves…
