Polaxis Talko2
the new generation of Polaxis' very first speech synthesizer, Talko.
After Talko, Polaxis developed Emy, which added an OLED display and SD card reader.
Over 10 years of feedback, thousands of LPC files, and experience emulating other chips than the classic TMS5220 have now led them back to Talko2.
A powerful RP2040 enables the application of real-time effects.
This module directly benefits from all these developments: a compact, DIY-friendly design, available both as a Eurorack module and as a standalone “Bricky” format inspired by Error Instruments. In homage, the glitch button has been renamed Error.
It speaks numbers, alphabets, phonemes, and classic phrase banks, with real-time pitch, speed, and effect controls.
A 7-segment display shows the active bank or the effect applied.
Designed for experimental voices and robotic textures,
Talko2 is both a classic speech engine and a sound-design tool.
