This is the base pitch of the synthesizer. If you set [:dv pr 0] which allows for no pitch range (the default is 100) you will get a robotic voice at the frequency the ap value has. ap stands for Average Pitch. I think the lowest acceptable value is 50 and the highest is somewhere between 500 and 600. No idea about incremental adjustments though.
