--> during my 11 days at STEIM i did a working prototype of the second incarnation of the "speakingObject" (no better title still). it's basically a vocal synthesizer controlled by two buttons and a three axis accelerometer. it works without a computer. the two wires are just power and sound out. the finished object will work on batteries and include an amp plus speaker so there will be no wires at all.

That is so excellent, thanks for sharing! Any plans to produce more for sale?

wow... amazing.
put it inside a doll and play it on stage!

that's fucking mint!

sick, like a deformed ET
super excellent!

Put it inside a Weighted Companion Cube!!!!

this is bad ass! nice work.

what happened after 11 days?

Fantastic! Hook some lights up that thing.

i wanted to have no midi or cv as it will be a standalone object almost like a real instrument. no wires... i also decided not to have it really speak (like syllables and words) although the synth could do that quite easily. i had it in the beginning but found it hard to create some useful mapping to the parameters of the accelerometer. but maybe in the future.

@energygiant: after 11 days i had to go back to vienna, for a show. so it's still unfinished but at least i made some progress since my first prototype:
