So ben burtt has been quoted in many interviews that kyma was the secret weapon behind his vocal sound design for the pixar film wal e. He mentions using a patch that 'allows him to breakdown his voice into tiny pieces and then reconstructs it' -by this im assuming that he's using some form of a spectral analysis file made from his voice which he then re-synthesizes. Does anyone know more specifics? Any patches / presets that could have produced this or similar results? IP: Logged | |

"Your success as an artist, to say something new, ultimately depends on the breadth of your education. My recommendation would be to major in an area other than film, develop a point of view, and then apply that knowledge to film. Because if film is all you know, you cannot help but make derivative work. I found that what I had learned about sound, history, biology, English, physics all goes into the mix." - Ben Burtt

One of which; Animation Sound Design (which could be course material for any Sound Design course! Just after 15 minutes into the clip there is a brief view (see attachment) of Ben's computer screen, on which you'll see some Kyma sounds - the one selected could well be the one used... IP: Logged | |

try the frequency & time scaling sound called "KBD pch Volare-FormantBank" it is more than likely a slightly altered, if altered at all, version of that sound. assign wacom pen to interval formant and play the keyboard in half steps simultaneously to achieve the stepping and expressive "wall-e" voice sound. i figured this out because i promised a friend of mine id mock up a recording of wall-e talking to his son, who is a huge wall-e fan! Edit: after to listening to the original again, if it is that patch, its definitely an altered version of it. sounds like there is a freezing effect as well as some kind freq scale maybe?.. but that patch is a good place to start!

I tried to replace the time index with PenX (and probably scaling it later) but it's not working. In fact after removing time index I can't write any parameter inside the TimeIndex box. I can not Probably because I have been only a few hours with my Pacarana and there are many basic things yet to be understood... ! IP: Logged | |

Hi Jafbox I did the sound modules for the foreign language versions of wall.e hi pete,thanks so much for the offer! i may take you up on it.. i think though, since i am a new user, that it will be a good for me to figure it out as a learning process. ill let you know how it goes. joseph p.s. trotz: ive found it easier to assign pen parameters by clicking the crossed out pen in the top right and using the sub menus for assignment. you can then look to see how it is coded text wise in the bottom info pane of the patch for future reference. sort of a short cut..

Hi Jafbox Thanks for the tip! I didn't know about the "crossed pen" because it is not explained on the Graphical Quick Reference nor in the Virtual Control Surface chapter. Is it a new feature? Now I also realize that there is a keyboard icon... mmm... There must be a "version history" somewhere. I'll try to find it. IP: Logged |
