Comments about Alter/Ego as a Alternative to Chipspeech
pros, cons and recent comments
Guest
Alter/Ego is a free version of Chipspeech focused on modern vocals, rather than vintage vocals. Since Alter/Ego and Chipspeech are both made by Plogue, they have similar UI and features. The two engines even share the character "Daisy," who has been sadly discontinued. The main difference between Chipspeech and Alter/Ego is the removal of the "circuit bending" feature found in Chipspeech.
