The Story of MacinTalk Part 1

chipresearch episode 0x01
The origins of the original Macintosh voice, from its roots in S.A.M. to the January 24th 1984 Macintosh launch demo.
(btw my company Plogue made a plugin that emulates this voice perfectly. Its called chipspeech You can try it at plogue.com/chipspeech )

This voice was used as the voice of AUTO in Wall E, but with it's pitch flattened

[@greenman1200]

did you know this was used to make AUTO voice in wall-e?

[@midgetman4206]

I think that's why were here

[@sparkedmario3514]

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

Yeah, did MacInTalk smoke barrels upon barrels of cigarettes over the years just to star in that film? GOD his voice was low.

[@greenman1200]

@@ThisHandleIsInteresting I know right!

[@gbird5000]

@@ThisHandleIsInteresting I was wondering the same thing. Or maybe it was just prepubescent in the 80s and a mature adult in the 2000s when the film was made

Bruh i see you everywhere in comments section specially in bosh video's

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

Man, another reminder of how perfect Fassbender was.

[@jMe4505]

Really interesting. Please let keep this going.

[@TheROFL98]

I'd like to see a second part on this video.

[@plgDavid]

Never say never. This took a long time to make. I have the script and parts of filming, but I have 10 other vids in the pipes too :\

[@getter7seven]

Very interesting and well done---onward with the fine edutainment!

[@parsil8158]

David, please continue!

[@James_Haskin]

This is excellent and I cannot wait for part 2!
The beep at the start, although appreciated for its significance, is a bit too loud imho. It is literally the loudest part of the video :/

[@plgDavid]

Agreed.

[@blesshiscottonsocks]

We need part 2!

[@plgDavid]

Cries. Would love to. Just so little time to make it right

[@kaceish]

That cliffhanger though. Amazing video. :^)

[@plgDavid]

Thanks. Some day I'll manage to find time to work on ep2! :)

[@luwado]

fantastic video!!! nice narrator voice...

[@104d_3rr0r_vince]

Great!
Now, where is part two? :-D

[@TorutheRedFox]

what I wonder is
does that demo disk still exist, and if so, does it still work, and who has it?

[@midgetman4206]

So this is Stephen hawking voice..

[@plgDavid]

Ehh no, that would be in episode 2 if I ever finish it.

[@jessihawkins9116]

that was a dectalk

[@B.von.Bentzen]

One more god rejected

[@dafterwho400]

part 2 please

[@JacobGreenmount]

This is a really great and informative video, but what's music that comes in at 2:54? Cheers.

[@plgDavid]

Thanks! The BG music from the "guided tour of Macintosh" tape. archive.org/details/GuidedTourOfMacintoshAudioTape

[@JurassicJordan]

since you mentioned S.A.M., are you going to be adding him to the plugin soon?
i really hope you guys do, its one of my most favored voice synthesizer.

[@JurassicJordan]

plus the plugin that currently exists is just speech... ugh

[@plgDavid]

time will tell ;)

[@JurassicJordan]

Hints like that make it just like Christmas Eve, except with singing machine
Lol

[@JurassicJordan]

by the way, i found a website that sells mainly sound/ speech chips, i don't know if its legitimate, but there are chips i don't know if I've seen in chipspeech that i think could have the potential for it.
www.speechchips.com/shop/search.aspx

[@plgDavid]

Yeah got most of them. IIRC I might have ordered a spare from them at one point a few years back

[@robuck6868]

I have a macintosh classic, but I can't get it to speak at all. Is there a tutorial or something that I could view? Or maybe a program I could get off ebay?

[@plgDavid]

You might have some luck with this post talkingmoose.ca/loved-original-talking-moose

[@robuck6868]

Thanks! Now I have to get it on my mac classic somehow...

[@flare242]

When can we watch the next episode?

[@plgDavid]

Need to get two or three important fact checked from a main player. And fix a piece of Hardware first :)

[@randoarchive]

Was there a part 2? Was it named something different? It's been 6 years.

[@randoarchive]

Oh, I see below that it's set to be released in 4 more years! Antici......pation!

[@plgDavid]

@@randoarchive Yeah I should never say there will be a part 2 cause I'm kind of stuck with it. Did the same with a DX7 video too.

[@randoarchive]

@@plgDavid Well, I love what I saw. Thanks for making this.

[@nickdrexler-art]

where is part 2?

[@plgDavid]

shelved due to public disinterest ;)

[@MrT8599]

plgDavid put it on

[@SendyTheEndless]

Lol, Apple saying things won't be like 1984. Whahahaha!

How's the Amazon or Google spyware working out for you?

[@Ace12GA]

Title contains "Part 1"... more than 4 years later, and there is no part 2....
