I just tried out the new Supertonic TTS for 64-bit NVDA, and I was more impressed with it than I thought. It is a local neural TTS, with as of right now, 10 voices that are English only, , (five female, five male, four American and one British per gender), and my favorite is F3. What I find impressive is that when the speech quality control value is at its lowest, it still sounds decent, though due to the nature of neural TTS engines, just like Sonata, the longer the paragraph, the longer the delay.
Invalid font tables (eg. GSUB/GPOS) are outright rejected, instead of partially validated and used. This behavior is different from DirectWrite and HarfRust, and is in line with CoreText. For conte...
Modular étude. Four random minor pentatonic sequences from Clank Chaos, one pinging the VCFQ filter fed into the Sarajewo BBD delay (low), and three into the oscillators of Three Body, tuned an octave apart in free mode, with modest FM and PM cross-modulation dialed in. Mixed and fed through the Desmodus Versio for reverb.

It's currently 70 degrees F here in central North Carolina, about 40 degrees F warmer than it is back home in NYC, where they got snow this morning. We'll be down into the upper teens and low twenties in a few days, though, as winter reminds us that, yes, it really does exist.
I decided I needed a new year's eve annoy toy, so I bought a 110dB hand-cranked siren. This will surely make me friendly with all the dogs in the neighborhood, no doubt.
