 ====== MIDIBox SpeakJet ======
-===== What is it? =====
+\\
 [[http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_iic_speakjet.html|MIDIBox SpeakJet Synthesiser]] is a project that uses the [[http://www.magnevation.com|Magnevation]][[http://www.speakjet.com/|Speakjet]] controlled by midibox as a standalone synthesizer.
 The SpeakJet IC was brought to market in February 2004, and is available from a variety of vendors for around $25 USD.

 To build this Midi-playable nifty synthesizer project, you will need:
   * 1 MBHP Core Module (PIC18F, host of kII speakJet application -> see below, communicates via IIC with the SJ-IIC-Module)
   * 1 MBHP SpeakJet-ICC-Module (PIC16F, receives IIC commands from Core and communicates via Serial Transmission with the Speakjet -> breadboard construction described below)
-  * 1 2x16 LCD, optional (displays last sent commands and various settings)
+  * 1 LCD, optional (2x16 for kII v 0.1.x; 1x8 LCD for kII v 0.2.x)

-===== The SpeakJet Control Application Software =====
+====== SpeakJet Application Software ======
-The SJ Control Application Software provides full access to all SJ-Functions via MIDI!
-kII is a MIDI control application for the MBHP_SpeakJet Module.
-By connecting a Core equipped with this program to the SpeakJet Module via IIC you can control nearly all functions of the SpeakJet Chip by Midi-Messages.
-kII stands for "Kempelen Two", Baron Wolfang von Kempelen has been a hungarian inventor and creator of famous automats. Whereas his most famous creatin has been the "Turkish Chessplayer" (which was a late-revealed fake with a chess-player sitting inside), he also invented one of the first talking machines ever. Baron Kempelen lived from 1734 to 1804.
-If you are improving the application, please send me an email or PM me in the forum, so I can update the project! // --audiocommander//

-**LCD-Values**:\\
+Currently some optional add-ons are being developed that allow various control of the MBHP-SpeakJet Project. You can add just one of them or all ;)
-A 16x2 LCD is optional. You see following infos:

+{{youtube>small:qSiMwpbNNsg}}
-  * N: (Note) Base Note Listener. '-' => inactive, '*' => next note will get new base
+There are two controller extensions available for the SpeakJet project:
-  * H: (Harmony) Current Base Note, eg 'D#'
-  * V: (Value) Last Value (0..127)
-  * J: (Jaw) Jaw Position, 0x0 opened, 0xB closed
-  * T: (Tongue) Tongue Position, 0x0 front, 0x5 back
-  * O: (OSC) Subtractive Synthesis Waveshape: SAW, TRIANGLE, SQUARE
-  * E: (ENV) Envelope Waveshape: SINE, SAW, TRIANGLE, SQUARE
-  * R: (REC) Record Buffer Mode (hidden feature)
+  * **[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSiMwpbNNsg|HandTracker Sensor Matrix]]** -> from audiocommander, part of the v0.2 release!
-\\
+  * **[[midibox_speakjet_k64_modul|k64 Keyboard Modul]]** -> from Rio. **Note that an adapted version of the k2 application based on v0.1 is required**. The k64 has some additional synth functions, the original k2 app does not provide atm. Future k2-updates may or may not be compatible with this mod.
