I don't know where else to put this so hopefully here is ok. In my Introduction thread Cylon-Knight mentioned something about a Cylon Voice Changer. I have an idea for this that may work. It's called Qneo. Check it out here:

If someone can hack an android device (a small one) so that it will run the app and output it to the onboard helmet speaker, then maybe it might work! Thinking about it, didn't they have something on their belt in the back going up to the helmet? Or maybe someone could run a wire under the suit from a small clip on the belt that holds the device but the mic would have to be in the helmet too. Some android devices are pretty small and must MIGHT fit inside the helmet. You may want to google for "mini android device". Or find a device that is phone sized and has mic input and headphone output. Headphone output would go to the speaker in the helmet. Mic input would go to an external mic in the helmet. There's some pretty small ones and some may be able to hack a good cable for it all and run under the suit to the android device.

Just one idea. You'll have to be sure that the speaker output is going to be louder than your voice, though and yet not interfere with the mic input so you don't echo yourself.

Those guys that wrote that app launched it here. I was the 1st freebie that gave away of the app. For a iPhone app it really isn't all that bad. Just about everything you need is there with minor adjustments needed if you are going to wear a helmet while using it.

As far as I can tell the Q neo apps are only for Mac devices (iPhone, iPad, etc.). Are you sure they are for Android? I can't find them in the Amazon App store. The only ones I can find for Android are either record and play back (not on-the-fly), or they sound bad. Most of us are one-to-one nuts and if it doesn't sound "just right" then we go *Cylon sour face* heehee.

@GoldCylon (or other iUsers) have you tried Qneo on your iPhone???

Oh, I see your reply now GoldCylon... do you have their contact info to tell them to Android it already!? *geewhiz* I'm WAITING

I just now found out that it's iPhone only and came here to mention that and you guys beat me to it. This bug I caught is making me not so observant lately.

If I could figure out how to make a vocoder in Java/Android I would make one. I have the Android SDK installed in my system. Thing is, I know nothing about how to program for Android right now, let alone audio stuff like that!

I went to Qneo.net and by clicking on their logo it went to email (I didn't email them yet). You can contact them at "contact" at... and their web site name I just mentioned. I typed it that way so as to prevent spam bots from getting at them. Maybe if enough people ask, then maybe they'll come up with it? Also a consideration is that some android devices won't show everything in the app store as I think the app store will only show things compatible for the device. For instance, I have android 2.2 tablets (yes, they are old) so 4.0 stuff may not even show up in the app store when I search/browse. If you have the latest and it's not there, then it probably is they didn't make an android version yet. I wish they would, too.

They only posted the offering aka link from this site. I haven't personally spoken with them. Sorry I have no contact information on them. Maybe search the site here a bit, and find their posting, and see if their profile has any leads or send them a PM

If this could be figured out I would be so IN on this project. Especially for Andriod which is somehow the way it should be

FYI: Qneo discontinued their Cylon Voice app some time ago, but they have incorporated the Silver and Gold Cylon voices into a newer app called Robot Voice Booth. It sells for $1.99.

Have you tried that app?

Yeah. It’s pretty good, and a way better deal than the $5,000+ Vocoder you need to get the completely authentic sound.

Thank you.


Just downloaded it. It’s real close. Close enough nobody will question it. Most people hear with their eyes if that makes sense. Going to have fun with it
