Your right, you did! I wasn't blaming anyone for anything, I was just
making a point that now I'm more confused by the different types of voice
synthesis than I've ever been. (Before I just didn't know, now I'm confused)

>From Larry's letter, and what my co-worker was saying about what he'd worked
with in the past (he's also far from an expert, but worked with some in the
past), it sounded like whatever "Formant Synth" is supposed to be. I had
always thought of "Formant Synthesis" as a form of Phoneme synthesis, but
there's obviously differences between the two or Larry wouldn't have used
them as two distinct things in one paragraph.

I do know what CVSD is, having written a few different implementations of
it. Not that that makes a damn bit of difference here. Might help in
recording new voices for Sinistar though...

That's the book!
