Transformation and editing of the following original sounds:
speech-female.wav (xserra)
AMB - cowbells.wav (vinjatovix)
Cow moos (josephsardin)
Cowbell.wav (Neotone)
Transformations performed exclusively with the HPS transformation tool included in the SMS-tools provided in the ASPMA course (Coursersa) and a modified by me version of the frequency scaling tool to "tune" the fundamental of an harmonic modelled sound to a predefined value.
Sound clipping, multitracking and time alignment done in Audacity.

this sounds like a great intro to some major scale edm
Hi there sleezstack, thanks for your comment. The basic effect is a pitch changing process, kind of a primitive "hand made" autotune. SMS-tools provide several algorithms bases on HPS (Harmonic Product Spectrum), among them a frequency scaler algorihtm, which I used to create different sound clips with the different syllables at the piches I needed.
Frequency scaling compensation (not just pitch shifting) was applied, in order to preserve (as much as possible) the natural human voice timber.
I then concatenated the different clips in an audio tool, piece by piece (hence the "handmade" part).
Perhaps the more striking effect is because it is harmonized, i.e. each syllable is a combination of different notes in a simple 3 part harmony.
In the final repetition an additional layer is added with the sounds treated pretty much the same way except that a simple frequency transposition (without proper scaling) was done. This produced the characteristic "Alvin and the Chipmunks" or "cartoon voice" effect.
Wow love the quality of the vocals! What process is that specifically that gives it that awesome layered and digital sound?
So cool!
'La vaca cega' deserve this composition, emblematic for the course, congratulations!
