Speaking Of Witch Speech-to-Synth Sampler For iOS
Developer Cem Olcay has introduced Speaking of Witch, a new speech synthesis app for iOS.
Speaking of Witch uses Apple’s speech synthesizer engine and creates speech samples from your text input, across 16 pads. You can set different voices and languages per pad. Also you can apply pitch and amplitude envelopes.
With the AUv3 multi-out, you can also apply different FX chains on your pads.
Features:
- Professional Speech Synthesis Engine
- Powered by Apple’s AVSpeechSynthesizer for high-quality, on-device speech generation from text.
- Support for dozens of languages and voices with no text length limitations.
- Instant text-to-audio conversion captures speech directly into playable sample buffers.
- Multiple takes system: each pad stores up to 16 buffer slots for variations and iterations.
- Background synthesis keeps the interface responsive while rendering speech samples
- 16-Pad Sampler with MIDI Channel Routing
- 16 independent pads, each triggering on its assigned MIDI channel for precise control.
- Monophonic playback: each pad plays one note at a time with instant triggering.
- MIDI note pitch mapping: play samples melodically across the keyboard with automatic pitch shifting.
- MIDI output option for recording your performances directly into your DAW.
- Layer multiple pads on the same MIDI channel or sequence them independently across channels 1-16.
- Advanced Dual Envelope System
- Independent amplitude and pitch envelopes per pad with unlimited breakpoint editing.
- Touch-based envelope editor: tap to add, drag to adjust, long-press to delete breakpoints.
- Amplitude envelope shapes volume curves for fades, gates, and tremolo effects.
- Pitch envelope enables pitch dives, rises, vibrato, and glitchy modulation effects.
- Real-time envelope application with smooth interpolation for expressive performances.
- 8-Bus Multi-Output Audio Routing
- Professional 8-bus architecture (16 channels) for advanced mixing and processing workflows.
- Assign each pad to any output bus for individual DAW tracks and effect chains.
- Create submix groups: route pads by character, role, or processing needs.
- Full AUv3 multi-output support in Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, and other iOS DAWs.
- Apply different effects to each bus: reverb on Bus 1, delay on Bus 2, distortion on Bus 3, etc.
- Flexible Creative Workflow
- Per-pad controls: gain, pan, speed, MIDI channel, and output bus assignment.
- Voice selection with dozens of languages, accents, and character types.
- Waveform display shows loaded samples with real-time visual feedback.
- Preset system with factory presets and user preset management via iCloud.
- Split long phrases across multiple pads for faster synthesis and creative sequencing possibilities.
