Thank you, and there is a lot of adjusting and tweaking that can be done to bring it even closer. We will continue to hone it. The original studio equipment used to create the voice emulation in post for the show was not portable, and this console has made it possible for a wide variety of applications to be housed inside a suit.
@@lekk the clip on how they created the original cylon voice made it abundantly clear how complex that tone actually is. I thought for the longest time the voice was just one modulation tweak on a vocoder.
Ha! I'd be elated if doves sounded like this normally, but you may be onto something. Who would have thought that elephants were the basis of Ben Burtt's TIE Fighter fly by sound effect. There were so many production and development tie-ins between Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica, that animal sounds being distorted so would make perfect sense.
@@lekk The same guy who found out how the original synth voices were made and bought all the original equipment also found out which emulator made the swooshing sounds.
Yes, and I can appreciate how one might perceive that. In fact, the backpack location for the speaker/amp serves two purposes: separating the output from the microphone input sufficiently as to avoid feedback, and the backpack cavity itself makes for a great resonation chamber to make an omnidirectional voice/sound, with even more bass than the powerful speaker generates on its own. Great question, btw.
You may want to start with your microphone volume right down, and perhaps having your amplifier on very low volume also. Thanks f you’re getting feedback when wearing it, repositioning your speaker and adjusting the output volume will help. If you are looking at adjusting and doing voice setting testing, try using headphones instead of the amplifier to fine tune your emulation.
This is cool, if only the pre-programe button can be easily accessible (the arm area). for those who cannot afford, you can opt for a Tremolo Harmonica, place the harmonica into your mouth, instead of blow, you speak into the lower notes. of course you need to use the harmonica holder or something
I hear you on making the controls accessible, but the console doesn't provide the ability to remotely control the preset selections, and most people are quite comfortable selecting one voice and sticking with it for the duration of a 'trooping session'. As for the harmonica, that's a step up from talking through a fan to emulate the Cylon voice, and a heck of a lot safer too.
Scott. This is very helpful. It certainly helped to tilt my choice towards this now after watching this demo. God willing, I will be contacting you sometime this November about an order. We need more Cylons in SG. 1 concern : The batteries for the Roland is I assume at the back so we'll need to 'rip' off the Roland from the velcro to replace and place it back. Can the velcro last for quite a while?
@@braceuself Great info Richard. Thank you very much. Love your profile picture. That must be you in Cylon right? One other thing : about The Eye warbler. I read some posts that mentioned the constant warbling sound get too noticeable especially in indoor places. Do you keep in on all the time or you turn it on and off depending on your location/situation?
This is pretty good. A surprising amount of effort went into making the original sound effect for the voice.

@@yvc9Link to that clip please.
Wow... , i'm a child of the 80's. Cylon's scared the shit outta me
They were quite intimidating, but the Land of the Lost Sleestaks were the nightmare material that spooked me way back then!
Nice. Also they definitely used a mourning dove's coo as the base for that sound.

@@lekk That's awesome.

is it possible to get the card with the warble sound? I already have the rest of this set up
Absolutely, please feel free to email me scott@kropserkel.com
#4 sounds like the voice of Colossus.
Suuper 👾🤖👽
so the amplifier/speaker is located inside the back pack? doesn't that muffle or make the voice unintelligible?

Amazing Scott.
Any idea how I can stop feedback from the microphone? My speaker keeps squealing even tho the microphone is not near it.cheers

@@lekk thankyou very much.i will try that

Hi.the velcro is very strong.had mine two years and the velcro is just as strong now.

@@GrumpX you can turn it off or down.yes its me on a night out.the suit really gets a lot of attention
@@braceuself Fantastic look. When everyone else is trying to look like a stormtrooper. Here you come as a Cylon. Awesome. Love it.
I use a phone charging power bank to power my Roland. I also Velcro that on the inside next to the Roland.
