SING! is an application which allows you to use the voices of the Speech Manager to "sing" according to your choice of words, pitch, and note duration. It automates the laborious procedure necessary when specifying pitch and rate for each word to be sung. Also, successive calls to the Speech Manager (necessary due to the apparent 30 [[pbas]] limit per call) are arranged in such a way as to minimize interruption of song.
SING! requires system software 7.1 or later, a 68030 processor or faster, and the Speech Manager extension must be present in the Extensions Folder.
Use of Speech Manager version 1.4, Macintalk 3, and associated voices
is highly recommended.
Macintalk 2 and its voices (Boris, Marvin, etc.) and
Macintalk Pro and its voices (Bruce, Victoria, Agnes) are NOT supported. If the following voices (among others) are available, then it is likely that a compatible version of the Speech Manager is installed:
Kathy; Junior; Princess; Ralph; Zarvox
SING! requires at least 2 MB RAM to run on a 68030- or 68040- based computer, and at least 3 MB RAM to run on a PPC. A PPC-only version is available by request.
If you experience problems, try setting the memory partition to 4096 KB preferred
and 4096 KB minimum.
