This is quite a different starting point than other voice synthesizers, such as Vocaloid or UTAU, or vocal sample libraries with wordbuilders like Realivox Blue or the Virharmonic choirs. TechnologyĪlter/Ego is based on Plogue’s Chipspeech platform, which recreates early attempts at synthesizing voices using vintage hardware up to 1984. In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve been beta-testing the Alter/Ego vocal synthesizer before the release and I’ve also released some sample libraries for Plogue’s Sforzando sampler. This carries over to noticing anything wrong or unnatural in synthesized voices as well. Voice synthesis is in a way the ultimate challenge when it comes to fooling the human ear – we humans are very good at noticing when something in another person’s voice is off, for example when they’re not as honest or confident as they’d like us to think. It currently has one voice available – Daisy, who is also free. It’s free and can run as standalone software, VST, AU, or RTAS/AAX plugin in 32 or 64 bits. Plogue’s Alter/Ego is a new voice synthesis platform. ![]()
