<big><big>There are two ways to assign pitches to notes in DECtalk.
Both follow the convention "<dddd, ffff>", where ddd is the
duration in milliseconds and ffff is the pitch. If you use a number
between 1 and 37 for the pitch, you'll get the note sung with vibrato.
If you use the actual frequency of the note, such as 261 for middle C,
you'll get the right pitch, but it won't be sung with vibrato. The use
of vibrato makes it a much better listening experience.<br>
