voder-voice - VODER Voice
Complete 1939 VODER speech synthesizer with MIDI CC control — text to speech via filter bank.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”A complete VODER (Voice Operation DEmonstratoR) speech synthesizer in a single module. Implements Homer Dudley’s 1939 source-filter architecture: a glottal pulse buzz (-12 dB/oct rolloff) and white noise hiss are crossfaded by MIDI CC1, fed through 10 patent-accurate bandpass filters (CC20–29 per-band amplitude), and output through a master compressor (CC7 volume). A MIDI note input controls pitch. Generate MIDI control data from English text using the text-to-midi.bb pipeline.
