Yow! The speech synth looks interesting. It might be a good test to see how much CPU this thing will hog.
I have no idead how to use it… ;(
Don't feel bad about it. Software written by very clever demo scene coders tends to have this quality.
Yeah, it certainly isn't user friendly per se, especially so since there isn't any help file or manual included. But i think one will learn basic operation by looking and modifying included demo tracks. That quirky lo-tech speech synth seems to be just what i've been looking for 😀

It looks like Tracker software. Have been meaning to try something like it for a while here, myself. Functions based off of patterns that the user sets up in advance. Notes are all… text-based and not "here's a picture of a piano roll." –but, the same idea behind developing the music applies.
Hi ! Like you, I can't do anything with this synth. I work with a lot of very different and very good vstis and vsts : I can use them (they always have a pdf manual) and I just play music! Music first !!! The speech function ? You can easily find a "free text to speech software" on the web and, with this small freeware (http://www.g200kg.com/en/software/vocovee.html) you can do a lot of things in a few minutes !

from function it looks to me like a (far more developed) clone of the good old jaytrax2.1 – without those limitations.Well done !
Nevertheless, I too would appreciate some help / manual, specially for the pattern editing & stack-setup would be quite helpful ….
