Re: range of value that we can use @ [[pmod xxx]][[rate yyy]]



thanx

read the pdf that can be downloaded @

> <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/
> Speech_Synthesis_Manager/index.html>

and if am not misreading

soPitchMod (= pmod ?) = 0-127

soRate (= rate ?) = 0-65535

was the answer to what i wanted to know

but someone also kindly posted me

mmm..
yes i also think 65535 might be too huge
i wonder if PlainTalk can really handle it

and that someone also informed me of this:

which is the amswer to this ?

BTW

in the pdf
it says about pmod like this:

Given a speech pitch
value of 46.000, a pitch modulation of 2.000 would mean that the
widest possible range of pitches corresponding to the actual
frequency of generated text would be 44.000 to 48.000.
This selector works with both the GetSpeechInfo and SetSpeechInfo
functions and does not move memory.

...yes
was using pmod to lowgrade "Kathy"'s skill to sing in the right pitch
(oops no i only knew that it was a parameter for bringing out weirdness)
but wow!
how i wonder what SimpleText was doing
when i wrote down
[[pmod 544]]
in the script

thanks any way

will read

and study more

thanx
