Hi Hive account@chasmic-cosm,

1. Yes, I did. I was experimenting a bit. It doesn't sound good, to be honest. There are a lot of other patches that are more accurate and complex. I was just testing the formant frequencies that I've found online.
2. Actually, AIR Talkbox is still my favorite. There is another one that is quite good, but it only works on Windows (and I'm a Mac user, unfortunately). The good news is that it's free. It's made by a Japanese company called A-Quest and you can download it here (find the zip file under "ダウンロード"): http://www.a-quest.com/products/vocalizer.html

Thanks for reaching out,

Miguel
