I got this idea a week or so ago and got curious if Speako8 could sing. Turns out it can! It's my homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey. The idea is Hal 9000 is now in heaven with Daisy, (who of course was built by Bell Labs) on a bicycle built for two.
Thanks to @bikibird for speako8, making this possible.
Very cool to hear Speako8 sing.
He's sometimes off key though :
I'm half crazy
I can't afford a
of a bicycle
Is there technical reasons for the dissonances ? The bloops that follow the same melody have no problem so it's not a question of score transcription.
@RealShadowCaster the Speako-8 engine was designed for speech rather than singing, so the pitch values it uses are somewhat rough. I think the TI99/4a's speech synthesizer was like that too.
