    Anyone knows how to do this? it starts in the video at 2:55
    Apoptygma Berzerk Kathy's Song Come Lie Next To Me
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByySvUYJ_oA

    Is it a speech synthesizer? If yes, anyone can suggest a software?
    dont think its a vocoder, but someone of you guys knows sure better :)
    this is fun, but not really to make the effect: http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php

    it's similar to this song one from Console
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyOP1gZGdig
    I read that Console used a speech program on his atari back then and he also uses celemony a lot (not sure if true)
    and limp bizkit's effect on 'behind blue eyes' is also the same?

    anyway, I'm mostly interested of the effect in the first song.

    Tanks in advance!

    That's a vocoder (with noise for the "t" and "s" sounds). The second one is a speech synth, or made to sound like one.

    I disagree. First one sounds alot like Melodyne-processed MS TalkIt (AKA TalkAny)! (singing girl preset). It's freeware for PC.

    Btw, Kathy's Song by Simon & Garfunkel is amazingly beautiful, so I was a bit turned off when the question was about something much less beautiful.

    Wow of all the songs. I saw the title in the AudioSex feed and my stomach tied up in a knot. Played it a few times and my ex really liked it and so now it's permanently ingrained in my brain and associated with her. And I hate that bitch. :rofl:

    Thanks for the memories. :wink:

    @Baxter: I'm sorry!
    @Catalyst: I'm very sorry! But my future girlfriend likes the song ;-) ..and then I might have the same problem with the song as you have :mates:

    I had a problem to open the link in Baxter's post. If anyone else too: Copy the link with right-click on the mouse and paste it into a new tab of your browser.

    and the official site of talkany software:
    https://ogifs_talkany.jaleco.com/

    Thanks Baxter! This toy is fun! And working on Win8.1 x64

    Thank you all for the help. Much appreciated!
