Calling VO-6 Masters

Elektron Gear Monomachine
1

I’m developing a Text to speech (song?!) process. But the system needs a few examples to help guide accuracy and options.

If anyone is willing to share some pattern/kit sysex (that have quality diphthong and phoneme use) here it will expedite the process.
even just 16 steps with one or two clear words will still be really helpful.

i’ve given it a go but VO-6 is quite subjective in output, so the more approaches/variations we can incorporate the more wide ranging the possibilities.

i want to incorporate the filter for mouth shape effectively alongside the core synthesis. (then LFO for vibrato/tremolo etc)

end game is: import a MIDI file and enter lyrics to make the mono sing. (potential for 1/2/3/4/5/6 voice arrangements (plock permitting)!
(actually in poly mode 6 voice unison arrangements should be far more effective as all voices will share same trigs.

Are you going to interface with a TTS app?
I feel like what is needed is a table
Phonème => VO-6 values
No clue how phonème are encoded though, never looked into this.

everything’s in place, it’s its own system. just need a wide range of words/diphthongs/phonemes/morphemes in pattern (.syx) form to help steer.
