German Mainframe Computer DERA - Documentary from 1963
[Enable English Subtitles, please]
At the time of this film (1963) the computer colossus DERA (Darmstädter Elektronischer Rechenautomat) was actually already outdated. It was created in the tube era of electronics. The construction of the calculating machine was conceptually based on the American calculator MARK IV by Howard Aiken (* 8 March 1900 † 14 March 1973), which was constructed between 1949 and 1952.
In 1951 at the Darmstädter Institut für Praktische Mathematik (IPM) they began, under direction of Prof. Dr. h.c. Dr. Alwin Oswald Walther (* 6 May 1898 † 4 January 1967), with the conception of the mainframe computer DERA, a serially working automatic calculator in tube technology with memory, floating point representation and decimal output. It was first used in 1957, but the further development of the computer was already reduced in 1956 and finally abandoned completely in 1959, as DERA had already been overtaken by the newly emerging semiconductor technology. Furthermore, the machine was prone to errors and was therefore shut down after 1961.
Although Prof. Alwin Oswald Walther belonged to the luminaries of early German computer development and his pedagogical as well as technical abilities in teaching were undisputed, his work during the Second World War was repeatedly discussed. Thus he and his team were involved in the ballistic calculations of the Wernher von Brauns rocket experiments in Peenemünde during the 3rd Reich.
The astronomer Dr. Rudolf Kühn (* 27 January 1926 † 4. December 1963), who conducts the interview with Prof. Alwin Walther in this film document, appeared for the first time on German television in 1955. He also co-founded the magazine "Sterne und Weltraum" (Stars and Space) and had the gift of presenting science topics to a broad television audience in generally understandable words. He died in a traffic accident in the same year as this television documentary.

Great Scott, Kraftwerk with a DeLorean! The very first in speech synthesis, definitely interesting.
GEOCITIES?!?!?!?!?
crazy interesting would be to learn to play such an instrument. i wonder why weren't any men doing it tho.

reminds me of animal crossing
its creepy and amazing!
The Soma Terra just released, one of its algorithms is exactly this voder. Its insane to see it recreated.
...lemon demon...
I find it interesting that he says that there are no practical applications for the Voder. The reason is that it was made before there was computer technology to automate the speech. I think there is one example of a mainframe computer producing speech, but practical talking devices started showing up in the late 70s, such as a Speak & Spell, a chess computer, and arcade games like Berzerk and Gorf.
Best "talking piano" :D
way ahead of its time
That's amazing this was made in 1930s. First electronic programmable computers weren't created until 1940s.
Kraftwerk Beta Version LMFAO
The first Vocaloid
by your command.
Does anyone know the song in between 4:39 to 5:03? Sounds like a Kraftwerk song.
imagine if someone travelled back in a time machine and played a clip of siri or alexa. These people wouldn't ask what was speaking, they would ask *who* was speaking

Nice demo, thanks. Of all the diy synths of the seventies, this was the best.

The 28 girls who became expert operators probably all took piano lessons growing up.
Am I the only one wondering why this isn't more prominently known? I'd think this machine at this time would've made world headlines to the point that it'd be a household name
lots of things were going on that were forgotten. since this was never brought to market and so niche that it was quickly forgotten like many other things at the world fairs
I think this was actually more of a proof-of-concept. That is, a voder is a vocoder without the encoder. The technology was being developed for telecommunications.
Wow
