I wanted to try making a module with robotic speech on it, and in particular size-optimize the speech samples by chopping up vowels and such, then sequencing these to form speech. All the instrument stems were actually first recorded to a Sony Acid 3 project, as this allowed me to bounce samples with baked delay and reverb. Having written countless of small .mods over the years, I finally wanted also to (sort of) 'splash out' with this a bit and waste space with reverbs etc.
