Yep, it is possible to make dectalk slide. ind the hertz of the note you want it to start sliding at, and find the hertz of the note you want to end the sliding, as per the the table at the bottom of the symbols.txt file. You then type something like the following, assuming the note in hertz of the starting pitch is x, the duration of the slide is y, and the pitch of the final note is z. [_<100,x>ah<y,z> Of course you would replace ah with the phoneme you want. For example, to produce a prolonged sigh, type: [_<100,150>ah<2500,80> Hope this helps.

Hi guys. I'm working on a song where the lead singer has to slide around to some notes very slowly. I've looked at the DT docs but I can't really come up with a way to do this. Does anyone know how to make DECTalk slide from X note to Y note in Z time? -- Attached file included as plaintext by Ecartis -- --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
