Regarding plugins, there must be some others, but the one I can think of is the Protect module inside Nugen’s sigmod plugin. Source: almost 3 years ago

I haven't heard of, or experienced this, but if it's a big concern, consider Nugen Sigmod, to protect your outs (it's the only Nugen plugin in my price range). I always have it on my main out, and mostly use it for quick mono check with a simulated Avantone frequency response. Nugen's on the crazy-pro side of pricing schemes, so hopefully there are other, free plugins out there that do the same thing. Maybe... Source: about 3 years ago

Since ice9 is discontinued, try the Protect module in https://nugenaudio.com/sigmod/. Source: about 3 years ago

What matters though is choosing a good synthesizer. I personally use Serum (~190$) for most things, since it's easy to use and has a big community with a lot of free and paid presets. Source: 9 months ago

One of the problems I am currently facing is having a large lookup table. I want to have a large set of predefined sound waves that can be manipulated like programs such as Serum. Is this still possible with an MC instead of an MCU? (Calculating the waves in real-time instead of using a lookup table might be too computationally intensive for most budget options).

You'll have to find some other alternative for your Text-to-speech needs. Serum has a basic speech synth, Vital uses Amazon's TTS solution, and you'll find plenty more with a quick google search. Source: about 1 year ago

You can also download Vital for wavetable emulation. https://www.discodsp.com/obxd/ You can also buy Serum https://xferrecords.com/products/serum for I think $190 or get it off Splilce for $10 a month until you pay it off. Source: about 1 year ago

Then all the synths are serum, in previous projects I have used magical 8 bit and tb_peach. Source: about 1 year ago
