shift-from-bpm

name	shift-from-bpm
description	Single-shot beats-to-voice pipeline. Encodes text at a target BPM into a CGP v0.2 prosodic packet and publishes to tokenism.prosodic.bpm.v1. BPM values: 60 (sentence/largo), 80 (breath/adagio), 90 (clause/andante), 120 (phrase/moderato), 150 (none/presto). Use shift-listen for daemon mode.

shift-from-bpm — Single-Shot Beats-to-Voice

Runs the Shift Crew pipeline once: encode text at a target BPM, build a CGP v0.2 packet, publish to NATS, optionally synthesize via Flute Gateway.

BPM Reference Table

BPM	Prosodic Boundary	Pause	Chakra Band
60	sentence	350ms	largo
80	breath	130ms	adagio
90	clause	180ms	andante
120	phrase	100ms	moderato
150	none	0ms	presto

Run — Single Utterance

# Encode at clause boundary (BPM=90)
uv run python -m pmoves.tools.beats_to_voice from-bpm \
  --bpm 90 \
  --text "Hello from the 4090 node." \
  --nats-url "${NATS_URL:-nats://nats:pmoves@localhost:4222}"

# Encode at sentence boundary with Dr. Bean persona
BEATS_VOICE=dr-bean uv run python -m pmoves.tools.beats_to_voice from-bpm \
  --bpm 60 \
  --text "Analysis complete." \
  --nats-url "${NATS_URL:-nats://nats:pmoves@localhost:4222}"

Run — BPM from Text Analysis

# Auto-detect BPM from text prosodic structure
uv run python -m pmoves.tools.analyze_beats \
  --text "Hello from the 4090 node." \
  --output-json | \
uv run python -m pmoves.tools.bpm_encoder --stdin \
  --nats-url "${NATS_URL:-nats://nats:pmoves@localhost:4222}"

Persona Presets (BEATS_VOICE)

Persona	BPM Bias	Speaking Rate	Temp
dr-bean	60	0.85	0.3
mr-clean	120	1.1	0.1
default	auto	1.0	0.7

Set with: BEATS_VOICE=dr-bean or use persona-bind skill first.

Notes

• Requires NATS to be reachable (graceful fail if not)
• Use persona-bind first to set voice persona for the session
• See shift-listen for continuous daemon mode
