In my experience, layering multiple voices actually ADDS clarity to chipspeech, assuming that the note rhythm data and pitch and wave rates are more or less identical.
ive always adored it when people take vocal-like samples or stretches that normally arent meant to be musical, and MAKE them musical. this HAD to have taken ages, you've earned a sub good fellow
It took several days/weeks to make this yeah, but honestly the vocals weren't that hard to do, since I was using Chipspeech with a MIDI controller. If I can get the file off my old laptop, I should make a walkthrough video...
gotta say, i love chipspeech covers but to me ocean man had been memed to death years ago and i was afraid i wouldnt like this cover. you've proven me wrong and then some, you made the song fun again. amazing job!
thanks! i tend to not want to cover songs if i'm just gonna make them sound like a worse version of the studio recording. for this one, i was inspired by the way ween performs "ocean man" live, and i tried to re-arrange the instrumentation for chipsounds and NI monark lol i DO play mandolin irl, so that helped me with the voicing of those bloopy arpeggios. that said if i redid this now, i think i might layer those with an *actual* mandolin part...
same voice! i'm not sure if chipspeech was used in that game but people have ported SAM's source code to be useable on modern systems before. hell, there's even a version you can use in the browser! my dude can be embedded in ANYTHING honestly
omg i'm SO glad i could give somebody that kind of serotonin!! i feel like we ALL kind of need it now. thank YOU for this comment. thanks for encouraging me to keep going :D
Hey! I know this is quite an old video but I would be super interested in seeing a behind the scenes in how you're consistently able to make S.A.M sound so, musical?. I've used it before and it seems like you would have to do a fair amount of work with the text input to get it to create smooth pitches like the ones you use.
...how much money would i have to pay disney in order to make a tropical house cover of "under the sea"? i already made one for "the wellerman" but i ASSUME that's public domain
SAM doesn't actually have filters. He's really just a bunch of wave functions generated and poked into the DAC at audio rate. I actually layered his voice in harmonies and tweaked the "Helium" parameter *very* slightly on two of the three SAMs, and somehow that adds a lot to his voice? The more you know I guess.
I definitely EQ'd his voice though, taking out the boomiest of low mids and the scratchiest of highs. I tend to put EQ on almost *every* track in the mix in general. I also think I mighta added a *bit* of distortion to enhance the very high sibilance, but mixed that in parallel with the dry signal
Nothing else really sounds like old speech synthesizers do! I love the sound of them to death and SAM was one of the first ones I fell in love with after discovering him through frenetic Googling and browsing the Homestar Runner Wiki when I was 10.
ok i'm listening to it at 0.75x rn and it GOES? damn i SHOULDA made a version of this at that tempo. i went faster with my cover because i was trying to emulate Ween's live version, which is ABSOLUTELY something EVERYBODY oughta listen to
@@Quirky_V sorry to respond so late, but according to my high school mandarin teachers, "ma ma hu hu" (or "ma hu" for short) is a chinese expression that roughly translates to "mediocre"
OH you thought it was JAPANESE text. sorry, it was supposed to be mandarin chinese. "bilibili" is a video streaming site in mainland china. i saw that someone auto-uploaded this track there and figured i'd say hi to my chinese audience, since i DID take chinese for like 7 years lol
Can you please send me a download link to your list of copyrighted covers? I would love to hear them, I absolutely love chipspeech voices, no idea why but they make me so happy. This was really good and funky and cute, like an android from Isaac Asimov's books was singing to me :D
i've got uh. bert gotrax singing "the middle" by jimmy eat world (even though i'm not at all happy with the mix) and otto mozer singing "are friends electric" by gary numan. in the works i've got a dee/cider cover of "everybody wants to rule the world" and lady parsec singing "sweet dreams" by the eurythmics i like synthpop ok

I don't think there's a single song that can't be improved by SAM.
Yes more from the legend himself
love it dearly
I'm literally so thrilled to hear SAM played out like this
If you have more you should share theme, its amazing--
This is my favourite use of SAM ever
Amazin. I wish i could find more songs/remixes/covers that sound like this.
My friend Shinku does a LOT of EXTREMELY good covers with another virtual "Sam" who might be more familiar to anyone who's used Windows XP. ;)
Cant wait to hear more SAM covers

Wow this ,this is beautiful
SAM is the best
totally love it

Never heard this sort of music before but it’s cool! The voice(? Sorry I don’t know what to call it 😅) is unique and the instrumental is amazing!

Wow, SAM's voice is a bit clearer than I remember. Did you use a high-pass EQ or did you find a way to remove the filters?
SAM doesn't actually have filters. He's really just a bunch of wave functions generated and poked into the DAC at audio rate. I actually layered his voice in harmonies and tweaked the "Helium" parameter *very* slightly on two of the three SAMs, and somehow that adds a lot to his voice? The more you know I guess.

implying anything about this song makes sense lol
They don't mispronounce it. The V sound is just articulated in a very similar way to the B sound, so it sounds confusing.
