Speak Unit vs StringLab

Speak Unit is a speech synthesiser audio extension for use in Garageband and other compatible music software. You enter up to twelve phrases that are each triggered by a unique note. Ideal if you need robotic vocal for your musical compositions, or any other creative uses. To use - Add the Speak Unit audio extension instrument to a track in your music software - Select a note using the up and down buttons on the Speak Unit's chest. - Enter a phrase - Choose a voice - Press the save button to store the phrase in the Speak Unit ready for synthesising. - Press the speak button if you wish to audition the phrase. - Play or sequence that note to play the phrase in your composition. The stand alone app can be used to speak the phrases triggered by a row of note buttons.

StringLab is a physical string modeling synthesizer based on Karplus-Strong theory. It is capable of reproducing the sounds of many different types of instruments, but is especially useful in the reproduction of hammered or plucked strings and other types of percussive instruments. It works by passing carefully crafted waveforms and short bursts of white noise through a series of tuned delay lines. The delay lines have an internal feedback loop with a series of filters to mimic the natural decay of harmonics found in a real instrument. StringLab allows you to discover the character of real-world accoustics, exploring the physics of how materials interact. Many new and original textures are born out of experimenting with the settings, so don't be afraid to experiment and create your own unique and dynamic instruments.
