Formant Frequency Formant Frequency
Does anybody have the table that contains the formant frequencies? I need these in a project I am working on.

This is very interesting. Can anyone give tips on how to turn this information into NM patches? I notice that the amplitude goes down to -60 dB. The bandpass filter in the modular only goes to -18. Can they be cascaded? How would you do the math? Also, how do the bandwidths in Hz get converted to octaves? Anyone care to donate a demo patch or two ? J

Yes indeed ... all this stuff about formant frequencies is very interesting. Is there, however, a table of such frequencies for those of us who e.g. speak tonal languages such as we do in Africa? I ask because a little while ago Kees van der Maarel did a nice little patch -- which sparked my interest -- in which he got the NM to say my daughter's name (Akosua). He did quite a good job of it, actually, given that he had probably never heard a native speaker saying it. A slight nasal intonation was missing. (For more about the subject, see
Atificial Speech)
But ... I was intrigued by the whole concept ... plus my other kids got jealous!! Why should the red beauty only ever say her name and not theirs? I later tried to incorporate the twang and tonality (sing-songness); and also tried to programme a couple of other words so that they sounded more like my native dialect but, as ever, I got distracted and just didn't have the time.
I would like to try again, however. And ... a table of non-English speaking -- I mean non-WESTERN language -- formant frequencies would be most interesting and useful to me for such a project. If anyone knows where one such can be discovered I would be very greatly obliged.

She says she hopes to be able to send some really complicated things in one day to impress you all ... but in the mean time she hopes that somebody somewhere likes this really simple patch she just made.

Here's a small tweak to Akosua's patch (nice patch, sweetie J ) Tell her to try knob 1. And her original patch sounds great with serious reverb, if you haven't tried that.
I see your "wizard" is still programming her little heart out J And I see by my calender that a birthday is coming up soon. As one of the nosy parties who chimed in on the original "buy or not to buy" thread, I'm naturally curious as to how your shopping for her birthday present is going J

I'll pass on your endearments ... but unfortunately you forgot to attach the tweak!!

Haven't tried it ... but will do.

Goes in phases. Seem to be in the middle of one at the moment.

Yup.

Trust you to remember!!!
It's a toss up between a Micro and a doll named Felicity which her best friend Jessica has. Another month to go before the big day, however. Her entirely logical argument is that she can play with my Nord any time she wants. She also pointed out that there is no sign of me banning her from same ... and that anyway if I did she would only have to tell Mama and Grandpa who would immediately beat me up for being so mean to her. So ... the doll named Felicity is winning by a nose at the moment. We'll see how things develop.
