<DIV><FONT size=2>you couldn't be more right. Personally i'm tired of
trying to deal with it because I know our voices aren't going to be heard.
They're just working around the problem and acting like all
their optomization is done.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But, they did at least do something. It at least has a
chance now. But only with those who want a cool synth to play

<DIV><FONT size=2>Will it also support other commands like pitch range, and
head size, and the other two to three dozen peramitors Dectalk supports?
Even if it did, I probably wouldn't use them, since I doubt they
would implement a voice creation system. Not even Dectalk really had such a
thing, the closest we get is Val, which only works for that Dectalk
session.</FONT></DIV>
