7. A digital processor for use in the synthesis of speech from digitized text, comprising; (a) means for receiving first digital signals representing a plurality of speech parameters; (b) means for generating second digital signals representing a first predetermined number of samples per second of a first digitized glottal waveform as a function of said first digital signals; (c) means for low pass filtering said second digital signals to form third digital signals representing a second digitized glottal waveform with frequencies above a predetermined threshold frequency removed; (d) means for down-sampling said third digital signals to form fourth digital signals representing a second predetermined number of samples per second, of a third digitized glottal waveform; and wherein said first predetermined number of samples per second is greater than twice said predetermined threshold frequency.
