<DIV><FONT size=2>I wonder how hard it is to get a non-functional one fixed? I
got an express for free that someone sent me when I needed a new cable, they
said I could have it. Being able to have 2 working ones around could be a good
thing since I heard the USB models use the 5.0 sound that I don't like as well.
I just don't get how phonix could've lost the 4.4 code, I'm sure they could get
an idea if they had the hex files. I'm sure some programmer somewhere could do
something to help them get the old sound everyone wants back.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Hi Missy! I'm Snoopi and welcom to the
list. Oh it's so strange that you want to try to program songs.
I'm releasing software hopefully on March 26 that teaches how to program
songs. It also teaches how to read music. It comes with Dectalk,
video illistrations, over 1000 pre-programmed files, and much more.
I'm not trying to advertise, I'm just excited. The project has been a
year behind due to bugs and I'm now on the home stretch of getting it done
and ready for orders. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Anyway, welcome. I um, have been on this
list since 2004 but I forgot I was on here until a week ago. Then I
discovered I wasn't getting the list. So I kind of feel new myself
even though I'm not.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>I work for both Fonix and Gallaudet University, so
I have Dectalk software coming out my ears! I'm the Engineering
Consultant, so I evaluate all new changes in the software and I get to say
what and how things should sound. It's a really fun job! I've
been working with Dectalk since 1989.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>You ask a good question. People ask me if I
use midi to program Dectalk and I have no idea how that woukd be done
myself. So I was about to ask a question kind of like yours, so I'm
interested in the answers.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>I hope you enjoy this list. I'm going to try
and get people from Gallaudet and Fonix to join this list because we
actually have projects that we could use feedback on.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>My Colleague Corine just signed onto a list called
Acolug. I'm on it but hate it to death, so I'm hoping she'll join this
list.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Anyway, I guess we're the Dectalk geeks, so
welcome.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi!
My name is Missy, and I just joined this list.<BR>Currently, I have a
computer running windows 98 SE and I use eloquence and<BR>JFW for screen
access. I've also got the dectalk software synth installed,<BR>and I use
cakewalke home studio 5.0 for playing around with midis. I know<BR>my
computer system is probably quite out of date, but I'm hoping to do
some<BR>upgrading when finances permit.<BR>Unfortunately, I'm not
particularly musicly inclined; love to listen to<BR>music, but can't
really play anything.<BR>Anyway, to get somewhat back on topic, I've
enjoyed listening to singing<BR>synthesizers for a few new years now, but
stumbled across this list quite<BR>by accident while web browsing earlier
this afternoon.<BR>I'm not sure if I have either the know-how or the
proper technology to<BR>create singing files, but I'd love to try and
learn a little about how to<BR>go about doing so. Also, if anyone takes
requests, how might I go about<BR>making them, and would I be able to send
a midi or mp3 of a song for<BR>reference?<BR>Well, I guess that's enough
of an introduction for now. I hope everyone is<BR>having an awesome day,
and I look forward to participating on this list as<BR>much as
possible.<BR>Missy<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>DECtalk
