The problem with it was that the main chip had gone bad (they have to replace the actual synthesizer itself (the actual price was something = like $641.

Are you sure GWMicro wanted $600? It seems somewhat high. I've heard people get them repaired for $150 or so. Keep in mind that, for a new Tripletalk USB, you'll be paying $450. I say this not to dissuade you from having another synth, but because I think the Dec is a better synth, and would try to fix it if possible. Just my $.02.

My DecTalk died and I am needing to replace it with another external synth. Gwmicro wanted $600 for it and I really do not think so. Once again, thank you for the links. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Aman Singer Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2003 12:25 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Finding the double and triple talk synths Hi. My apologies, I forgot to include the URL for the Tripletalk. The cheapest place you can get them at is http://www.chirpingbat.com You can also buy them direct from the manufacturer, for a higher price, at http://www.axsol.com Aman -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Reinhard Stebner Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2003 1:19 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Finding the double and triple talk synths And the triple talk? Do the synths still sound the same? I am getting tired of the system slow down do to having a software tynh running and the accentsa is not running that well with jfw 5.0 (I find =3D than eloquence speaks faster (responds better then it does). Witch makes me believe that there might be a driver problem between xp and jfw and the synth. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On =3D Behalf Of Aman Singer Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2003 12:13 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Finding the double and triple talk synths Hi. You can get the Doubletalk from http://www.rcsys.com Frankly, were I you, I'd go for a Tripletalk, though the external doubletalk does work with Windows XP. The TT units are more likely to last you a few years, as they use USB or PCI, whereas the Doubletalk units use serial, which is fast becoming difficult, or at least troublesome, to find.=3D09 Aman =3D20 -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Reinhard Stebner Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2003 1:06 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Finding the double and triple talk synths Does anyone know where I can get the double and triple talk synths?
