Good morning. Find a converter with the FTDI chip set. I've been using one
of these for a long time and it works extremely well with my Doubletalk LT
which is my synth of choice. Converters with the Prolific chip set don't
seem to work very well. I had one of these that I gave away because it
wouldn't work at all on a fast computer. Port settings didn't help. The
FTDI converter works very well especially after I disabled the modem
controls in the port settings in device manager. This machine is XP Pro so
I haven't tested with Vista or 7 yet. You can go to
(www.usbgear.com)
to find FTDI chip set serial converters. Their web site has a download
secsion which has 32 and 64 bit drivers for XP and Vista. They don't
mention 7 yet but it may be possible for the Vista driver to work. They
still have the converters starting at $19.95. Good luck.

I have tried a number of USB to serial adapters that do not work with the
lt, and other hardware synths and displays that use serial ports. is it
possible to know what people use?

Hey all,
this is good. however,:
*can you use it on a 64bit system?
*can you use it on a system without serial ports?
*how much is the USB to serial adapter?
*is there a size difference?
there were many reasons that the triple talk was invented. if the double
talk is still usable, that is great, for now. however the question needs
to
be asked, how long will it be usable?

Hello,
Shortly after it came on the market, I purchased a DecTalk USB. I
didn't like the speech either, and I returned it after 24 hours.
You can now purchase a DoubleTalk LT from RC Systems for only
$212.00. I'm not saying the speech is the greatest, but just think
of the money you're saving. Go to:
