The example voice file we’ll use for the following
experiments should now be properly loaded. Voices A01
through A05 are the ones we’ll use on the VL1 Ver.2 and VL7
Ver.2. On the VL1-m Ver.2 we’ll use A01 through A06. These
voices have been specifically created to facilitate understanding
of the way the VL system works. All other voices are un-
changed.
