The MITalk documentation describes the amplitudes, gains, formant frequencies
and bandwidths that DHK used in that version of the synthesizer (for *his*
voice).  No idea where they may have ended up as the design evolved nor how
they were changed for other voices.

[But, that's what I used as a starting point for my first synthesizer]

Or, have I misunderstood your need?
