For AT1 and Rev1 I'm missing a config file,

That's good news :).
It is good because it doesn't try to force the
algorithm used
into something it can't do well.
Ok, it's better to have one character that is good, than to have several
characters that sound disgusting.

I don't think you will get very far with trying to use at1 to
create 'speaking drums'. It is *not* a vocoder
(some autotuners
are). You could use it retune some percussive sounds that have
a definite pitch, but that's not the same thing.
I only tried to imitate the instrument "talking drum",
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_drum in a way, when it's played by
just changing the pitch a little bit, when the tension of the drumhead
is only changed minimally. Using a conga sample and a pitch bender wheel
doesn't sound good. AT1 can't do it either, but it sounds better than
using the pitch bender wheel. I didn't use MIDI to control the AT1, just
audio with a conga and bongo rhythm and let AT1 auto correct the tuning,
so sometimes it was audible when the pitch was corrected.
