Description
Two speech models, SAM1 and SAM2, port the C64-era SAM synthesizer: Timbre scrubs through the selected word, Color switches words, and a trigger plays the word at natural speed. With the quantizer in a diatonic mode the chord models stay in key; the x6 modes stack six oscillators across the scale. Removed relative to Braids 1.9: the text editor, morse code easter egg, QPSK and the original WTx4 (replaced by WTCH). The author labels it beta with no warranty.
