AFAIK the speech synthesis mode is just additive synthesis, but I might be wrong. To model speech, then, you would probably figure out the most significant amplitudes of the frequency components of speech and feed that data into amplitude controi register/s. Here's to hoping it's somewhat more advanced than that, though! I doubt it's anything like Chowning's FM speech.

Hey guys, I was wondering, if a song is under a Creative Commons: Attribution-Non Commercial-Share Alike license, would putting a derivative work on BandCamp or similar and having a name your price with no minimum (as in you can get it for free) count as "Commecial"?

Yes

Because technically the album/song is free and you're just accepting donations.

No

Maybe you missed the where Kitsch chimed in.

Maybe you missed where I replied to each of your points with a reasonable counter-argument.

I don't feel like internet battling over opinions.  You obviously have an issue with America in General and regard soldiers as dogs.  I'm far from patriotic but I do realize most soldiers have good intentions and I respect them simply for the fact that they are doing something they choose to do which in effect keeps our government from forcing us to do...

For not wanting to "internet battle" you sure make up some good flame bait. I don't have an issue with America in General, and I don't regard soldiers as dogs, unless they are dogs. It's not that my opinions on these things have anything to do with what we're discussing; I just feel like I need to disclose them since you are making confused assumptions about them.

There are many US army vets in the community so it is relevant to a good portion of the members here.

I'm sure it is, but is this the relevant site to relay that information? Really, if I wanted to know the details of the U.S. veteran labradors, I'd go to www.va.gov (which clearly states that the card should be safeguarded) and read about it. If I was interested in general U.S. news, I'd go to a U.S. news website.

Also the thread was accurately titled so you should have known before you even clicked in that it was a total waste of your time.

The same goes with spam mail. Just don't click it. It will never ever be a waste of your time.

There is a distinct difference between useful information that affects a good part of the community and "lol look at this picture" threads.

Yes, but is the difference meaningful in the context of chipmusic? Both of them seem completely irrelevant, good intentions aside.

I don't make music with anything other than a gameboy but I'm not claiming the rest of the sub-threads are a useless waste of my time.

Good for you.

Just because something is not relevant to you does not mean it's not useful to others in his community we all share.

My concern is that it is not relevant to the site. My interpretation of what this site is about obviously isn't universal, but I feel like some people would agree that these posts don't really belong here, and that they make this site a less attractive forum for discussing and reading about chipmusic.

On the social level, CM.org is a gathering of  people with a shared interest. I feel that sharing concerns and interests outside of this common bond is social interaction that enhances the forum.I don't see too much difference to a 'what's your day job' thread.

I can appreciate a thread for simply being an interesting discussion, so it's not that at all. At least "what's your day job" provokes somewhat meaningful discussion around that topic, while this basically starts off as plain news aggregation.

On a far larger scope, anyone who enjoys the freedom of being anonymous should be concerned how governments and corporations  handle our personal information. On the whole, CM.org users are technical sauve types so should also be concerned about cyber security. It doesn't matter what demographic you belong to, if your personal data is not safe-guarded you need to be concerned.

That sounds like a nice topic for discussion. I wish someone had posted that topic instead of this!

It's part of one of those gray-zone thingys.

Nah, this thread is just as useless. As I'm part of the subset of people in this world that aren't U.S. army veterans that are unaware of the fact that the information on their identity cards can indeed be used to identify them, the initial topic of this thread is a total waste of my time. What reasoning is it that justifies dedicating a thread on chipmusic.org to this, that somehow doesn't justify posting any other completely irrelevant and mundane information that is only vaguely interesting to tiny minorities of the world?

It might be interesting to some, but as far as the scope of the site goes, it's irrelevant and useless.

Way to ruin a great thread with your incoherent ramblings, Puke_Flytalker

Yeah, and let's make an asshole section at the movie theatre and a terrorist section at the airport.

You could invert just one of the stereo channels, I think.

I don't think there is. There's definitely no straight forward way to do it.

Sweet! It's giving me the vibe of a free interpretation of Toejam & Earl. Is there any particular reason why the game is released on Windows before the other platforms? Some sort of exclusivity contract?

I think a reasonable compromise would be to make the General Discussion board inaccessible to Puke_Flytalker
