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. -- Meet the new wave, same as the old wave... Rich Rosen ihnp4!pyuxd!rlr
