Often considered a toy... I think it is much more...
I just downloaded... unzipped... copied the VST to Reaper FX folder within the Plugin folder ----(Make sure it is the linux version... and has: ".so on the end")
Just open it up in under FX in a track... type some letters in and start having fun! This is the type of thing that can really astonish some people!
I use it in some of my recordings... Play with the adjustments or presets.
I know there was a few of these speech software synths in the day... Anybody find any others? Did you get them going in Reaper Native Linux? I want to know! tc
