Voder emulator

I would like to find out if anybody has made an emulator of the original Voder, which was shown at the World's Fair
in 1939 and invented by Homer Dudley

Would be grateful if you could let me know.....
cheers

Are you referring to vocal-formant synthesis in general, or a specific emulation of Dudley's synthesizer? 'Cos formant synthesis is eminently 'do-able' in Max, just search the forum with those keywords; and look here:

Not an emulator, but I've just worked directly with Bell Labs to create a modern version of the VODER.
