This is fucking amazing. Its a bird that can mimic other birds extremely accurately.
But then it started hearing other sounds in the forest... watch what happens. (watch to the end)

Human beings are capable of up to four distinct timbres in their voice. Most humans, at the very most are capable of two.
That bird sounds like its designed to generate a lot more. Its multitimbral.

are those chainsaw sounds for real? i'm having a hard time believing it... it just sounds way too accurate to be actually coming from that bird. i can buy the camera shutter, but the logging noises sounded like they were being played from a speaker...

But most people. There are a few people that practice using all four at once (and by a few, I actually mean a few).
From what I understand, there are four different places that the human voice is generated from, but most people are only capable of using two at once.

i can hum and whistle at the same time, if you get them both to the same tone, makes a cool effect, like ring modulator.

sometimes, i think you could be aphex twin, post your last brand new album, and no-one give you attention cause you're not a premium member or what.

sorry to spoil the fun, but surely it's a sampler, not a synthesiser

actually no. the bird didn't record the sounds. its mimicking them with its own vocal chords.

He was born with an 8 bit sampler in his head. Like an all natural teddy ruskin. I doubt that.

ah no, it must be a sampler. Here is the logic: A synth can be made to make a sound, a sampler must first record the sound then it can reproduce it.
The bird effectively records the sound then replays it, so it cannot create complex sounds from scratch.
Also does this remind you of the dicta-phone bird from the flintstone films?
People should ditch ipods and get one of these. 100% DRM free to boot :)

its actually an interesting/sickeningly IDM argument, but there isnt a device which can record a sound and not reproduce it but synthesise an approximation of it. this might be quite a cool thing, sort of like a vocoder but not

It's a bird. It' not an IDM bird or a granular bird. It's just a lovely bird.

the bird doesn't sample or record anything. how does it record the sound? is it stored as an mp3 in his brain? no! it creates the sound using it's beak (and other parts). therefore it synthesizes sound.
ok yes, he recreates a sound he heard but to make it a sampler it has to record the sample and play the exact same sound it heard.
it's a resynthesizer...

No no and NO! It's a sampler. It records the sound in its brain using its own own proprietary format. Then recreates it using imperfect speakers. Sampler also recreates the sound as faithfully as the technology allows.
