Building a tool and need sample tracks
Hi everyone,
The post from u/mxkara yesterday kicked my interest back into gear for a project that I've had sitting on the shelf gathering dust for several years now. Got Claude to rewrite my broken-ass code and managed to get it up and running within an evening.
So far I've got the Teddy Ruxpin encoding/decoding working, but I'm looking for Mother Goose and Mickey MP3 rips so that I can add those too. Would anyone have anything from those talkers?
The tool has several modes already.
Manual: let's you move the sliders around to control Teddy and Grubby.
Playback: Load a precorded Teddy track in to control Teddy. The sliders will automatically update their positions in accordance with the control track.
Random: Let's you load in prerecorded voice lines. The tool will then pick a sound at random and convert it to a PPM signal for Teddy's mouth based on the amplitude. He'll also blink randomly. You can set the min/max times for how often he talks and blinks. Will add support for Grubby too (not that I have one to test with).
I also want to do a scripted mode that lets you compose and export your own track to an MP3 file. Won't be anything fancy. You'll basically write a text document that references the sound files you want and when they should play. Will support a background track for music and atmosphere too.
The tool will be free and can be compiled for Windows, Mac and Linux. Could potentially do mobile too.
