NAME
     syout - output synthesizer  control  data  through  hardware
     synthesizer (Masscomp systems only)

SYNOPSIS
     syout (-I) (-i item) (-n repetitions) file

DESCRIPTION
     syout is a program to control the Quarmby  hardware  formant
     synthesizer using synthesizer control data stored in a data-
     base file.  The synthesizer is wired to the parallel  output
     port  /dev/dacp0/pfo0.  Frame rate is determined by the syn-
     thesizer handshake, regardless of the frameduration  in  the
     data set.

     Options and their meanings are:

     -I         Identify program and exit.

     -iitem     Select input item type and subtype.

     -nrepetitions
                Replay  the  data  the  given  number  of  times.
                Default 1.

OUTPUT CHANNEL SELECTION
     On sites where DAC and HWSYNTH replay is under software con-
     trol,  syout  re-directs  output according to the setting of
     the DAC environment variable and SFSBASE/data/dacdefs.   See
     playback(SFS3) and hwsynth(SFS3) for more details.

INPUT ITEMS
     7.xx       Any synthesizer control code item
