You know what would be cool, Don? If you have text to voice software or a similar hardware device, it would be interesting to generate lyrics from a text file, save it as spoken word audio, then use pitch adjustment software like melodyne to put a melody to it. With todays heavily processed vocals, you'd be runnin' with the big dogs.

Pat, I’ve actually done some experiments with my DynaVox speech synthesis device like this one:

http://www.dynavoxtech.com/products/vmaxplus/

The selection of voices is exceptional, something on the order of 50 different voices including ones with a British accent. I use “Clive” when ordering crumpets and tea. The one drawback is, it sounds quite robotic with a staccato tempo.

It has a BASIC-like programming language so I have created some custom applications and, after two years, I continue to discover more things that it will do. The Owner's Manual is 1600+ pages.

With the right backing you could start a new genre.

hahahaha you'd fit right in around my family. We're weird enough to do that even without the dynavox.

if you listen to the current top 40 songs, almost all of it is processed to purposefully sound robotic... so in the current market that would not be a drawback at all.. it would be at the height of vogue.

Dang, Don... if you're smart enough to do that, my hat is off to you! I'm fascinated by programmable devices, which partly explains why I like MIDI...but I'm not particularly good at reading 1600 page manuals and figuring out how to what the pages say.

Getting back to my original premise, I'd be very interested in hearing the results of your experiments with dynavox-to-lyrics experiments. If you don't have Melodyne, maybe we can find something similar online.

here's a link to a freeware pitch correction plugin
http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/KeroVee/

when you get to the page, scroll down and play the demo video to hear the sound that young artists are trying to achieve. Sound robotic? Yep! On purpose? yep!

I hope yopu have fun with this, because I really want to hear your first top40 hit created with BIAB and Kerovee

another free pitch correction plugin is (pardon the name, but somebody else named it)
SON OF A PITCH
http://freemusicsoftware.org/1024
(download page and product description)

music morpher
http://download.cnet.com/AV-Music-Morpher/3000-2141_4-10263603.html?tag=mncol;9

voice tweaker (looks interesting... pitch can be controlled via MIDI)
http://download.cnet.com/VoiceTweaker/3000-2170_4-10600026.html?tag=mncol;9

If you go to CNET.COM and search for "pitch correction" you'll find a lot of similar programs... this is just a starter list.

wow, pat! thanks for those links! certainly gives me some new toys to "wreck creation" with. so, you've given me the tools, now it's only a question of finding some free time to delve. spiritual activities in a field ripe for harvest keeps me very busy. i will post any progress from "The Singing Mute" lol.

gracias, amigo! i was getting there the irish way, punch buttons until you get the desired result. i learned that the "play" button on the top/right will "play all" like a jukebox. if it stops playing, it's an indication that i uploaded a non-standard bitrate file, IT IS NOT A SOUNDCLICK PROBLEM! i will uploaded better files as soon as i find some free time. ya right!
