NORMAL (L"We are going to have the synthesizer say [apa]. We need a @Speaker and an @Artword object.")
NORMAL (L"1. Create a speaker with @@Create Speaker...@ from the @@New menu@.")
NORMAL (L"2. Create an articulation word of 0.5 seconds with @@Create Artword...@.")
NORMAL (L"3. Edit the Artword by selecting it and clicking #Edit.")
NORMAL (L"4. To set the glottis to a position suitable for phonation, use the ArtwordEditor to "
	"set the %Interarytenoid activity to 0.5 throughout the utterance. You set two targets: "
	"0.5 at a time of 0 seconds, and 0.5 at a time of 0.5 seconds.")
NORMAL (L"5. To prevent air escaping from the nose, close the nasopharyngeal port "
	"by setting the %LevatorPalatini activity to 1.0 throughout the utterance.")

	"and at 0.1 seconds to 0.")
NORMAL (L"7. To force a jaw movement that closes the lips, set the %Masseter activity at 0.25 seconds to 0.7, "

	"If this is too slow for you, click %Interrupt. "
	"Otherwise, you can watch the vibrating vocal cords "
	"and the changing vocal-tract shape.")
NORMAL (L"12. You can play, view, and analyse the resulting @Sound as you would any other. "

INTRO (L"A command to synthesize a @Sound object from the selected @Speaker and the selected @Artword.")
NORMAL (L"This is the command that performs the actual articulatory synthesis. "
	"See @@Articulatory synthesis@.")
ENTRY (L"Arguments")
TAG (L"%%Sampling frequency% (Hz)")
DEFINITION (L"the number of times per second that the equilibrium widths and lengths and the tensions of the muscles "
	"are recomputed from the Artword. This will also be the sampling frequency of the resulting sound and "
	"of the optional resulting tube widths, air pressures, and air velocities. The standard value is 22050 Hz.")
TAG (L"%Oversampling")
DEFINITION (L"the number of times that the aerodynamic quantities and the state of the tube walls "
	"will be recomputed during each sample period. The standard value is 25.")
TAG (L"%%Width 1%, %%Width 2%, %%Width 3")
DEFINITION (L"the numbers (see below) of the tubes whose widths you want to monitor. "
	"E.g., if %%Width 1% is 36, the synthesizer will create a Sound object named \"width36\", "
	"which contains the width of tube 36 (the lower glottis) as a function of time, expressed in metres. "
	"To prevent the creation of a \"width\" object, specify \"0\" (the standard value).")
TAG (L"%%Pressure 1%, %%Pressure 2%, %%Pressure 3")
DEFINITION (L"the numbers (see below) of the tubes whose air pressures you want to monitor. "
	"E.g., if %%Pressure 3% is 37, the synthesizer will create a Sound object named \"pressure37\", "
	"which contains the air pressure of tube 37 (the upper glottis) as a function of time, expressed in Pascal. "
	"To prevent the creation of a \"pressure\" object, specify \"0\" (the standard value).")
TAG (L"%%Velocity 1%, %%Velocity 2%, %%Velocity 3")
DEFINITION (L"the numbers (see below) of the tubes whose air velocities you want to monitor. "
	"E.g., if %%Velocity 1% is 60, the synthesizer will create a Sound object named \"velocity60\", "
	"which contains the air velocity of tube 60 (in the mouth) as a function of time, expressed in metres per second. "
	"To prevent the creation of a \"velocity\" object, specify \"0\" (the standard value).")
ENTRY (L"Stability")
NORMAL (L"The internal sampling frequency for the aerodynamics is the specified %%sampling rate%, "
	"multiplied by the specified %oversampling. With the standard settings, this is 22050 times 25 = 550750 Hz.")
NORMAL (L"To ensure the stability of the synthesis, this internal sampling frequency should not be less than the "
	"velocity of sound (353 m/s) divided by the length of the shortest tube. For the standard \"Female\", "
	"\"Male\", and \"Child\" speakers, the shortest tube is the upper glottis, which has a length "
	"of 0.7, 1.0, and 0.3 millimetres, respectively. The minimum internal sampling frequencies, therefore, "
	"are 504286, 353000, and 1176667 Hertz, respectively.")
ENTRY (L"Time resolution")
NORMAL (L"To capture the microscopic pressure changes in the glottis, you will want maximum time resolution. "
	"For a female speaker, you could set %%sampling frequency% to 550750 Hz, and %oversampling to 1.")
