A Desktop Synth Built Entirely for Voice: Formant Synthesis and Consonant-Vowel Sampling in One Box
Olydian Musical Instruments' VC-01 Voicecrafter is a hardware vocal synthesizer with two engines — formant synthesis and consonant-vowel sampling — individual vowels mapped to touch-sensitive keys across a large central panel, per-engine ADSR and FX, and a looping overdub sequencer. First sound demo is up; price and availability TBA.
