Chat Jam Manual (Emanuelle)
---------------------------


And the voice was Mary.

  Mary will speak what is being typed into the chat room, and Mary is requested
  to do so by a chat listener program.

And the voice was a G2.

  The G2 plays a couple of patches that are changed by what is being typed into
  the chat, the G2 is requested to do so by the chat listener.


There are a couple of special text commands for the chat listener:


  to change a controller use (at the beginning of a line)

  #cc-number value

  where cc-number can be 1 .. 90 or so and value can be 0 .. 127


  To play a note use (at the beginning of a line)

  @note-nr velocity

  where note-nr can be 0 to 95 and velocity can be 0 .. 127, velocity 0 means "note off"



  To turn all notes off use  (at the beginning of a line)

  #allnotes off



All other text will be spoken by Mary as is, and they will change the patches
played as well. There are a couple keywords that will perform a special action.

Lines starting with /me, @, # or ! will not be spoken, they may still alter the
patches.

In spoken text a couple of commands can be used for special FX :

  <spell>word</spell>

  will make Mary spell the word as: w o r d , the </spell> bit is optional


  <pitch middle='n'>pitch changed text</pitch>

  where n can be -25 .. 25, the </pitch> bit is optional


  <rate speed='n'>rate changed text</rate>

  where n can be -10 .. 10, the </rate> bit is optional


  <volume level='n'>volume changed text</volume>

  where n can be 0 .. 100, the </volume> bit is optional

Mary's speech rate and pitch are also controlled by your nick name - you can
change your nick to control that in a rather unpredictable way.
