PPG Phonem Adds AU Automation
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

PPG Phonem lets the user create expressive vocal synthesis beyond anything ever heard before. With its advanced routing system every aspect of the voice can be controlled and modulated in any conceivable way. Anything from a quiet whisper to a scream. Use the intuitive text to speech tool to make Phonem say whatever you want.

What’s New
AU extension – parameter automation
AU extension – pages come back as saved in FullState
AU extension – All notes off command
AU extension – iPad Pro compatibility issues
User reported bug fixes

Although the PPG Phonem was originally designed to do just vocal synthesis, it turned out that the system was also capable of producing a wide range of universal synthsizer sounds. So we extended the parameter ranges and made everything accessible to the user, to take advantage of this fact.
