[DECtalk] Looking for synthesizer demos

Hi all,

I'm looking for demos of any and all hardware and software 
synthesizers.  If you have access to a synthesizer not already 
represented in the DECtalk archive, please send a sample of it either in 
mp3 or .wav.  My goal is to have as many synths as possible 
represented.  I'm especially looking for demos of the Apollo.  There is 
a zip file already, but it only has the power on and off sounds.  It 
doesn't have any actual speech.  I'm also looking for demos of all 
software synths.  I have Neospeech and Elloquence, but nothing else.

The demos don't have to be anything fancy.  If the synthesizer can sing, 
a sample of that would be appreciated also.  I can send you text samples 
or you can just borrow something from a public domain book.  I would 
prefer enough text to get a feel for what it sounds like, so probably a 
paragraph or two.  If you can help, please prepare the file and contact 
me for further upload instructions.  Thanks for your contributions.
