Voice modelling plugin?

Does anybody remember the name of that plugin?
You type in text and dial the notes in pianoroll and the voice sings what you've entered.
As far as I remember there were both female and male versions.

Ultimately, I need it for a spoken word recording of a female in English. (none of the girls around seem to have any convincing accent(((

So I'll have to model that. If I can get my hands on it

Vocaloid Lola (lady) and Leon (lad) are the ones you're looking for, I think. I'm not sure how good they'd be for straight speech synthesis, if that's what you're looking for... maybe worth looking at nonmusical ones?

I dont know how they've progressed but they were a bit of a flop

might be vaguely useful for backing vox, but take some working

I am embarrassed to say I own voice modeler from TC-Powecore.....
Nothing you can't do on your own with eq and such.

I think Melodyne is the best you can get for this...

not the same thing

Melodyne is for correcting real vox - he was asking about typing in words and having the machine sing it which is vocaloid

melodyne is great - althought the 2.6 version I have used to be very unstable

I havent tried v3

Melodyne can't tweak my baritone to anything close to a nice chick sound=)

oops...
In that case just use... 'shit talker' for the voice...

And use live's clip envelopes to tweak tha pitch...

Might not be ideal ...might not sound Natural...

but I promise you very cool results... and I find shit talker to be tons of fun!!!

yea I'm a long term fan of the shittalk)))

however that's not really what i'm up to)))

even with the formant filter in Melodyne it didn't do the trick

oh well

Cantor?

I don't think you'll get ultra-realistic, but...

I think East-West makes a choir like this as well.

Probably not what you are looking for, but the AT&T site (yeah the phone company) has a page where you can type in sentences and it will speak them for you. I think there are even multiple voices you can choose from. It's not meant for vocals but for company automated phone messages. Sorry I don't have the direct link but my friend has used it with some entertaining results.
