here's a sound-chip adjacent question: does anyone know what speech synth was used for the _non_-Johnny 5 robot voices in Short Circuit?
<fseidel>
the synthesis method sounds similar to an S14001A but is far cleaner
<fseidel>
I'm all but positive it's synthesized and not vocoded
<fseidel>
I've a looked a few contemporary chips but none sound quite right

if it's anything like the vfx they probably started with something cheap and then had the sound studio engineer the crap out of it.
