Ploytec, the southern German audio specialists demonstrate a newly developed version of the PL2 MIDI synthesizer. Their existing emulation of the General Instruments SP0256-AL2 speech synthesizer chip from the eighties is extended by a replica of the historical CTS256-AL2 companion chip.
The CTS256-AL2 chip automatically translates English text to the allophones needed for robot speech. On Saturday 3 PM, there’ll be a 20-minute presentation at the Superbooth auditorium.
