Daisy is a female vocal and the first ever revealed for the software. She is drawn by Pixoshiru.[1] She has English and Japanese capabilities. Since she was free and was the first vocal, she is the most common Alter/Ego vocal and arguably one of the two most famous vocals, the other being ALYS.

Description

Character

Daisy is a lonely time traveler and the estranged lover of Dandy 704 from Chipspeech. The Chipspeech characters bring her name up from time to time, and although Dandy has feelings for her, he has no memory of her.

In the worlds of Alter/ego and Chipspeech, Daisy is regarded as a temporal anomaly.[2]

According to Dee Klatt, Daisy used to get stressed out over colours and cats. She also used to say bad things but meant well.[3] She also has an unknown secret mission.[4] Spencer AL2 also noted when she left, codes appeared.[5] He also would like to find her to question her and would search for her if he could.[6]

Vocal

Daisy is voiced by music producer Crusher-P. Daisy is the first voice for Alter/Ego and was made by Crusher-P and Giraffey as the final HD vocal for Chipspeech, the other being Lady Parsec HD.[7]

Daisy was programmed by Giraffey and Plogue. Giraffey also created the reclist Daisy uses. She was deisgned to be the bridge between the gap of Chipspeech and Alter/Ego. Despite being able to enter Chipspeech, she does not have the ability to talk and can only sing.[8]

Chipspeech characters such as Dandy or Bert Gotrax used a limited amount of data, so the best method of making their vocals was using Formant 1 or 2 technology. The Formant Singer was optimized in Chipspeech for a monopitch that could give a huge vocal range, because of how limited the source material of these synths was that Plogue was working with at the time. This is why Daisy, who also uses the Formant Singer method, produces a mono-pitched vocal.[9]

History

Daisy was unveiled on August 26th, 2015 as the first vocal for Alter/Ego. She was offered as a demonstration vocal and was distributed for free.[10]

Alongside Alter/Ego, she was released on 9th September 2015.[11]

Trivia

  • Dandy 704 and Daisy's relationship is a nod to the song "Daisy Bell", which was sung by the IMB 704 of which Dandy is based upon. This was the first ever song sung by a computer. This is further backed up by Daisy's Twitter account being "Daisy__Bell_".
  • Being a time traveler is are reference to her ability to be imported into Chipspeech. Chipspeech is based on pre-90s vocal synthesizer technology and is focused on "the past" while Alter/Ego is focused on "the present-future".
  • The background of her Alter/ego version features her leaving a steam powered time machine. On it is a Back to the Future-style Flux Capacitor. It is quite difficult to see at times as depending on which interface is up depends on whether or not the detail is hidden. For example, the English/Japanese text input interface completely hides it.
