Bitspeek is a real-time pitch-excited linear prediction codec effect.

So what is "linear prediction", we don't know it but most of us use it daily when we talk on our cell phones. Linear prediction is an old voice compression technology. It was implemented in a number of products including the speaking toys of the early eighties.

Bitspeek is the application of this technology. This VST plug-in can analyze audio, extract a number of parameters (including pitch, volume and formant data). It can then resynthesize the audio using its built in oscillator, noise and filter architecture.

We have added a number of playback parameters that adjusts the pitch and tonal quality of the sound as well as support for MIDI and a beat-synchronized "formant freezing effect".

You will be surprised to find out that despite the simple controls, Bitspeek is a very flexible voice effect box. It can create a variety of vocal sounds from cheap speaking telephones and toys of the yesteryears to high-end talkbox and vocoder effects.
