Contestants, it's time to play, The Backwards Talking Game!
In preparation, first erase all memory (Master/Globals, Erase Bank), then
take a sample of your voice speaking your name.
1. Activate the Digital Processing Module.
2. Select Digital Tools I (7), Reverse (3). The display shows:
REVERSE secs samples
Start:
End:
Size:
3. Press ENTER to reverse the sample. The display defaults to the
entire sample. Play the sample back. Hey, it's backwards! Now
practice saying your name backwards until you feel that you have
learned it well. Think you've got it, do you? OK, now sample
yourself saying the reversed version of your name, and then of
course..... reverse that! We guarantee loads of fun and maybe some
surprising insights.
Cut and Paste
This exercise details how to cut portions out of a sample and paste it
into another sample or even the same sample at a different location..
1. Erase all memory using Master/Global, Erase Bank (3).
2. Take yet another sample of your voice. Set the sample length to
about 1.2 seconds. This time say, "Cut and Paste". Pronounce the
words clearly and distinctly.
3. Activate the Digital Processing module, Cut Region (5). We are
going to rearrange this sample phrase to say: Paste and Cut.
4. Select the sample you just created. Use the Data Entry Control to
choose the sample, then press ENTER. The display shows:
CUT
Start:
End:
Size:
The original pitch of the sample will appear on key C4, the fourth C up
from the bottom.
5. Move the cursor under End on line three. Adjust the Data Entry
Control so that only the word "cut" is heard. Press ENTER. The
display will inform you that the ESI is backing up the sample, and
then will return you to the module identifier.
