hi

i agree, with Earthman your better off with S&S and maybe some formant
filters.

I've used the Fs1r extensively and its difficult to see where your going
from A to B.  Whereas with samples at least you have a starting point.

Also the Fs1r excels at silky choirs and ethereal voices rather than
something that has a earthy human texture

It gets boring if you have only that, but to produce something in the same
tones, you'd need formants (small band pass filters) loads of envelopesS

You're better with an additive synth (soft or his majesty Kawai K5000) or
maybe a FS1R. But it's easier with a bended S&S ;)

Some bit reduction to squash the remains is good %)

You can in the digital distort fashion, but the pure mutations of voices are
out of reach for the reason addressed before

And it's good to have impossibilities, you need to overcome them and try
something NEW B)

Hi you ;)
