Text to speech software... sounds like whatever Steven Hawking uses. Probably sampled on a Kurtzweil k-2000s.

dunlop talkbox. Check the Pulse dvd, you can see DG using this thing.

[Meanderthal]

 Must not be the talking I was thinking about. When I saw them do it live(vet stadium, 95), I didn't notice anybody with a plastic tube on their mic stand... but there were at least a dozen musicians on stage if ya count backup singers and all...and what I heard sounded nothing like a talkbox. Same sound on the cd. Maybe there's a talkbox guitar solo I'm not remembering...

Or maybe one of the keyboard players was playing pre-recorded samples. The strong Impression I got.

[Auke Haarsma]

I'm 99% sure it is a talkbox which he uses at the Pulse DVD... not 100% sure if DVD matches CD though... will have to check that (have both here).

[southtown]

i can believe its a talkbox, does have a humanish vibe to it

[slacker]

It certainly sounds like a talkbox and according to gilmourish.com it's a Heil Talk Box.
I saw them at Earls Court and can't say I remember seeing him use it, that might be because I was sitting about 3 miles away in a cloud of other peoples weed  though 
If you've got the original pulse CD, the one with the flashing LED. there's a picture of Gilmour in the booklet playing acoustic guitar and you can see what looks like the tube from a talkbox on the micstand.

[southtown]

my dads got the original with  the cover, i have a erm, well he umm yeah ya know

[Meanderthal]

 Ok, yup, there's a tube on the mic stand. I'll be damned. Leave it to Gilmore to make a talk box sound like Steven Hawking. That's the most intelligable use of a talk box I've ever heard!
Hmmm... one other possibility just occurred to me. Wouldn't it be possible to use both a talk box and a vocoder simultaneously?  Bet you could understand the words alot better that way!

[ashcat_lt]

well, I'm thinking that would require the person with the tube in his mouth to actually speak out loud.  Would first of all be difficult to understand because dude has a tube in his mouth, and secondly, that talking would be reproduced by the system that is amplifying the tube signal.

[Meanderthal]

 Yeah, you're right, stupid idea... the vocoder would only do its thing to the talk box sound, wouldn't work the way I was thinking. DOH! I just can't for the life of me figure out how to get a Heil Talkbox to do that. That is NOT a Frampton sound (please, spare me the flames, I know full well comparing Frampton to Gilmore is like comparing steak to textured vegetable protien), you can clearly understand every word, and in a way that dosen't sound like a guy with a tube in his mouth. Dosen't sound like a guitar either. I'm stumped.

But I know exactly how to get that sound through another method...
