Hi!
OK, so I installed arctic & don from the repo... festival (promt/interactive) says:
festival> (voice.list)
(cstr_us_awb_arctic_multisyn kal_diphone don_diphone)
with
festival> (voice_cstr_us_awb_arctic_multisyn)
Please wait: Initialising multisyn voice.
[.......]
festival> (SayText '"test bla bla bla")
It is using the alternative voice I set.
I tried putting:
(set! default_voice 'cstr_us_awb_arctic_multisyn)
or
(set! default_voice 'voice_cstr_us_awb_arctic_multisyn)
into ~/festivalrc and/or /usr/share/festival/festival.scm, which does nothing at all.
If I just put
(voice_cstr_us_awb_arctic_multisyn)
in there, it says: "Please wait: Initialising multisyn voice." every time I call festival via command line (the same message I got when testing in festival promt / "interactive mode"), but festival -tts is non the less not using the voice.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Hello whoops!
Which version do you use ? Did it work earlier ?
Offline
I'm using festival 1.96beta-2 from extra and the voices are from testing (didn't notice that before - will try to downgrade although I can't imagine how the voices should do that).
I have never tried another than the default voice before, so I can't really tell. (edit: don't have an older festival pkg - that version must have been around for a while I guess).
I'd have guessed that most likely I'm just doing it wrong... somehow.
edit: while trying to downgrade, I noticed that it uses the voice awb_arctic_voice as default if I remove the other two. As soon as I install "don" again, it uses don. And If I install kallpc16k, it uses that again although it's still saying "Initialising multisyn" and taking a while to load that huge thing.
edit: mh, with the"old" version of awb_multisyn (festival-awb-arctic-1.0-1)I get:
festival> (voice_cstr_us_awb_arctic_multisyn)
SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : voice_us_awb_multisyn_configure_pre
while the one in testing (1.0-3) works (except I don't manage to set it as default).
edit: With the old versions (everything from extra):
If I write
(voice_cstr_us_awb_arctic_multisyn)
into fistivalrc, I get the error (that seems to be fixed in testing):
SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : voice_us_awb_multisyn_configure_pre
closing a file left open: /home/user/.festivalrc
closing a file left open: /usr/share/festival/init.scm
festival: fatal error exiting.
If instead I choose:
(voice_don_diphone)
There is no error message, but still it's not using it as default voice.
