[DECtalk] questions about vibrato

[John B. Eulenberg]

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.
