Overview
I have created a set of samples that have been recorded directly from an SP0256-AL2 chip. I have omitted the two pole filter that normally follows the audio output from the chip. Of course, you can always add a digital filter via software if you so desire. The aim of this pack is not so much to form synthesised speech, but perhaps to enable a user to explore these sounds in a creative fashion.
Samples
There are a total of 59 samples. These represent all 59 sounded allophones that the SP0256-AL2 is capable of producing via its internal ROM. The included sounds are named by the allophone in terms of each audio file. The allophones are as follow, including example words:
1 /OY/ BOY
2 /AY/ Sky
3 /EH/ End
4 /KK3/ Comb
5 /PP/ Pow
6 /JH/ Dodge
7 /NN1/ Thin
8 /IH/ Sit
9 /TT2/ To
10 /RR1/ Rural
11 /AX/ Succeed

Thanks! This is really nice!
Hi Sebastian,
This is really great :)
By the way what frequency did you run your speech, was it 3.12MHz, or 3.579MHz?
The reason I ask, was I was trying to figure out the length of the samples. According to the SPO-256 data, for example /AE/ should be 120msec, /DH2/ should be 240msec etc., but the samples were of a different length. Did you get the SPO256 to play all the samples and then chop it up? Also, is there any silence recorded within the samples?
This is the best SPO-256 capture on the web, since you captured it uncompressed at such high bitrates ;-)

Hi Shabaz,
It's running at 3.12.
I got the chip to play all of the sounds, and then I chopped them up automatically using thresholds.
For each sounds, I got the IC to play silence after each one has finished.
I hope this helps.

Me and my Korg Electribe-SX thanks you !! :)
