I saw them demo that voice.  The demo I saw was at Sam Ash in Paramus
NJ about a year ago.  They claimed that they built the voice that afternoon
recording and sampling from an actual broadcast off the air.  There were
three different sounds (if I recall):  Moe saying "I'll moider ya" and
very strange "Why you"s and Curlyesque screams.  The "voices" were played
back and transposed (accompanied by slower/faster speed along with lower/
higher pitch) using different keys.

Has anyone played with that unit from Decillionix (??) designed for
digital sampling on an Apple?  I have some info and a phone number for
a demo recording at home, if anyone is interested.
