Subject: Re: A good synth? The Dectalk Express is a modern portable synthesizer which connects to a serial port. I don't know when they stopped making them, but Force Computers released firmware for the Express a few years ago, although I don't think it sounds near as good as the older Digital firmware. The = DTC01 is, as far as I know, the first Dectalk speech synthesizer ever = produced, and was produced around 1984. I don't know what a new DTC01 sold for = when they were popular but I'd suspect several thousand dollars as those = units also have the ability to interact with a user over the telephone. = Several years back I think the Express units were selling new for around $1200 = but I think I heard once that they'd gone up to around $3000 or so. Dectalk = has always been one of the more expensive synthesizers around. Hope this = helps.
