Introduction
Voice Core is directly inherited from our first electronic module released in 2005 and
known as Crystal Focus Saber Core. The idea is to provide to DIY movie props,
costumes or models a high quality set of light and/or sound effects configurable by
the user. This supposes the possibility to setup the board, change individual
parameters of the effects and of course be able to change the sounds themselves.
From the beginning, our main line is the use of a cheap removable flash memory like
the ones used in digital camera to store the sounds and the configuration of the
Secure Digital
board. We chose the SD card ( ) because it's an open standard, it can
be formatted in FAT and be read by any PC equipped with an internal card reader or
a USB "stick" card reader, without any specific software or driver.
Features
Voice Core is composed of a little electronic board that drives analyses and
transforms the voice picked up by an electret microphone. Voice level is detected,
measured and compared to a configurable squelch threshold so that breathing or
external noises won't turn the amp on. When the user stops talking and after a
release delay has expired, a static burst is played from the SD card. The card hosts 8
static burst sounds that are triggered either in sequence or in a random way for
more realism.
