| Ok, so I'm making this track, but I need text to speech voices too it.The voices like Benni Benassi are using. Do you know what he uses to get these voices? It sounds like Microsoft Marry, but I don't have the TTS voice (I'll get it). And he is able to control them how he wants them to be, like pitching. I know that there is a feature for this in Fruity Loops, but it doesn't have those TTS voices I want. |

| Just go to Bell Labs' text-to-speech thing, export the clip, then warp it in your sequencer so that it's in tempo. Then, use Melodyne to pitch-shift it. |

| I was wondering what speech synthesis program Benny used. The pitch change was probably accomplished seperately, through some sort of software processing. I heard somewhere that Benny used Mac PCs for the synthetic speech. I'm starting to wonder if those are real voices with heavy effects processing. I think it could be done that way. |

Thanks, I might use it for someone else, but It's really hard to understand what he's saying. |

imo the best t2s software is scansoft realspeak, but I think their voices are too real for these purposes
you could check out their site if you want for an interactive demo (you can type in the sentences and it will give you a .wav file) |

Edit: Nevermind, I see that you are not supposed to use it in songs, that is what you meant by restricted. |

the bell south one can do different accents and stuff.
if your really ballsy you could try making your own lookup tables, that song "daisy daisy" from 2001: a space oddesy had a singing computer voice made that way, could only imagine hoe much work that would have taken writing those huge lookup tables with such a slow antique machine.
there are tunes from the 70's by this dude charles dodge who did the speech thing at bell labs during the night when all the workers were not using the stuff, they are kinda funny. Then there is that mac speech thingy, and the open source one called festival.
Text to speech thingys are fun. |

| I read/heard somewhere that the vocals from Satisfaction were real vocals recorded from a phone conversation. Don't know if it's true though. |
