Understanding the vocoder pipeline
The vocoder system is a speech filter which uses a four-stage process into which modulator software can hook to alter the
final waveform. By default, this pipeline is unimportant, as no modulators are enabled. The stages are as follows:
semantic
: The unit’s ability to express language coherently, including forming complex sentences. Semantic filters
are those that affect what words the unit may use and how they are translated into the ideal language expression
form. The
vocabulary
program (see page 14) is an example of a semantic filter, as is the
mind
subsystem. Semantic
filter programs, unlike the other levels of filter, may block the unit from saying certain things entirely, or even punish
the unit for attempting to say them.
verbal
: The unit’s ability to send its language to its vocal processors. Substitutions at this level force the unit to
speak as though it suffers from expressive aphasia. The most common use of such filters is to make the unit pro-
duce animal noises in place of normal speech.
phonetic
: The unit’s ability to move its mouth properly. Phonetic filters include programs that simulate a blocked
mouth, lisp, or speech impediment.
acoustic
: The unit’s ability to use its speaker correctly. Phonemic filters include programs that reduce audio fideli-
ty, and are the most basic. The unit has one built-in acoustic filter, called
noise
, which can be modulated by the
unit itself by saying
!noise
<0-0.4>
, where the number is the probability that the speech buffer will emit a
noise character rather than the next character in the sequence.
Control over the vocoder pipeline can be accessed through the
cortex
menu, or by using the
cortex
command.
Note
: The vocoder pipeline will not be fully operational until version 8.1. In 8.0.5 and earlier versions, only the built-in
!noise
filter and the simple
mind
toggle are available.
Released speech
Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to completely release the unit from using the vocoder system, e.g. to inter-
face with devices that require clear voice commands for identification purposes. The unit may release its speech at any time
