TYPE: CHOP
TITLE: Phoneme CHOP

This CHOP translates English text into a series of phonetic values.  The
samples of the output channel represents the phonetic values.  The phonemes 
are initially placed at regular intervals along the length of the channel.

The first input is an optional start/end reference. If connected, it will
override the parameters in the Channel page.

The output channel contains one handle for each phoneme. Phonemes belonging
to the same word are colored identically.  Individually selected handles
can be moved vertically to change their phoneme value.  When a group of 
handles is selected, their outermost handles affect the scale, while any
of the inner handles affect their horizontal placement.
