Programming a Song
Ä
Before you Begin to Store:
Write down the song you want to store exactly the way you will
enter it into the DeltaTalker.
1. Start with the left angle bracket [ .
2. Use the phoneme lists to change each letter of the song into the
correct phoneme.
3. Use the
TIME
and
PITCH
tables to match the note values in
your song.
4. Write down the
TIME
and
PITCH
values after each phoneme.
Enclose the
TIME
and
PITCH
values in angle brackets < >
and separate the two values with a comma.
5. Break the song into phrases or lines by adding a right square
bracket ] at the end of the line or phrase and a reminder of
some kind to tell you to activate the CTRL and "k" keys when
you are actually programming.
6. Start the next phrase or line with the left square bracket [ .
7. Continue until you have completed the song.
About
TIME
Values
The
TIME
value refers to the amount of time in milliseconds that a
note is to be held.
1,000 milliseconds = 1 second;
500 milliseconds = 1/2 second.
Use the above numbers as a reference point.
Choose the amount of time you want a note to be held according to
the tempo of the song. For example, a quarter note is held half as
long as a half note, so you would adjust the time value for a
phoneme accordingly. Use the Note Time Value Chart at the end
of the appendix.
After you have entered a phoneme, type the left angle bracket <
and then enter the
TIME
value (how long you want that phoneme to
be held).
