Yes, cutting edge 1980's technology at it's best. wink

This is about four generations removed from current voice synthesis technology. You might recall S.A.M. (Software Automatic Mouth), which was the basis of MacInTalk. If you play with the demo on that page (decompiled from assembly into C, and then converted into JavaScript!), you can hear the familial resemblance.

Interestingly, the company that put out S.A.M. is still in business as SoftVoice, Inc., and it was their demo of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star that convinced me that while formant synthesis might not create realistic results, it might be "good enough" for my purposes. Since they've been doing this for the last 30 years, I think their example is probably as good as this technology gets.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
