These are tools children are using to purchase high quality narcotics. Looking to crack the code on your kids' illicit activities? The Drug Enforcement Administration has posted an 'emoji drug code guide' that lets parents know the real use of gas pumps, chickens and rocket ships. Headline: DEA releases list of 'Dangerous Emojis' linked to drug use in text messages The episode closes with a tribute to Zip Disks as the efficiency tool of the late 1990s. We run the math on how many ants it might take to equal a 9,000 pound elephant in bed. This new episode of Spoken Word with Electronics teaches you about microwaves, and asks you if you've ever heard the Ant and Elephant Sex Joke.

SWWE #64: Dangerous Emojis and Fornicating Ants This work was developed into the channel vocoder which was used as a voice codec for telecommunications for speech coding to conserve bandwidth in transmission. The vocoder was invented in 1938 by Homer Dudley at Bell Labs as a means of synthesizing human speech. But the joy is pretty nice now that it's here. It took some restraint to not buy anything for three years. This show introduces it to the family of instruments in the SWWE studio. I call the V22 the Buchla Easel of Vocoders. Nor do either provide the variety of tone shaping and filtering as found on the V22. But neither the 7702 or the 201 provide 22 channels of speech analysis. There ARE a few comparable Vocoders in terms of sound: The Bode 7702/Moog Vocoder is one, as is the Sennheiser VSM-201.

It is easily the most configurable and sonically expressive analog vocoder to ever exist. The GRP Vocoder Speaks for Itself! After saving up nickles and tree lint for three years, we happily bring a Vocoder into the show.

'A Midnight Drive with a GRP V22 Vocoder' Do you vocode? A good engineer can explain such processes. This episode is brought to you by Vareschi Mastering.
