Thanks all for the info, and looks like @girthrub has already asked the question. Basically, I’d just like to be able to synthesize vocal sounds in a programming language context like SC, and write routines to manipulate vocal parameters ( even if the vocal sounds are somewhat robot-like and not as polished as what AI TTS does ). An advantage of using SC would be the ability to combine with other Ugens for interesting effects. Otherwise, I guess I could look into C++ though am not as fluent with that.
I hadn’t heard of Pink Trombone, but seems there may be an SC port ( though not sure if working )
I also noticed there was a thread on a Vowel class so maybe working with that and the Formant Ugen might be something to look into.
