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 Hellbo (a chat bot from Blue Hell).
  
  
• Mary howevever is no longer used ... currently it's Microsoft's Anna and a couple of new ones too ... some eSpeak stuff.
  
  

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 Hellbo.
  
  

There are a couple of special text commands for Hellbo:

• 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 change to another variation use (at the beginning of a line)
  
  #variation
  
  
• To get an overview of the commands from the chat use (at the beginning of a line)
  
  !mary
  
  
• To get an overview of the voices that are active (at the beginning of a line)
  
  !voices
  
  

All other text will be spoken by 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 @, # or ! will not be spoken, they may still alter the patches.

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

• <spell>word</spell>
  
  The word will be spelled as: w o r d , the </spell> bit is optional
  
  
• [n] pitch changed text
  
  where n can be -25 .. 25 :: will speak text with a changed pitch.
  
  
• {n} rate changed text
  
  where n can be -10 .. 10 :: will speak text with a changed rate.
  
  
• (n) volume changed text
  
  where n can be 0 .. 100 :: will speak text with a changed volume.
  
  
• Speech rate and pitch are also controlled by your nick name - you can change your nick to control that in a rather unpredictable way.
