+====== The SpeakJet Control Application Software v.0.1 ======
+You should have come here from the [[Midibox SpeakJet]] Project. On this page you'll find descriptions of the Application Software kII for the Core Module, that controls the MBHP-IIC-SpeakJet-Module.
+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//

+\\
+<sup>**1)**</sup> will be available with the next version\\
+<sup>**2)**</sup> would be nice, I'm thinking about it...\\
+<sup>**3)**</sup> don't wait for it (or help coding :) \\

+===== Download =====
+  * [[http://www.audiocommander.de/downloads/midibox/kII_015.tgz|SpeakJet Application Software 'kII']] – // v 0.1.5 build 20061210 // (138 kb)\\
+  * runs on the PIC18F Core to enable the full control of the SpeakJet Module by MIDI-Messages. The package contains the source, an X-Code 2.0 project, ACSim-Classes and precompiled .hex and .syx files.
+  * Note that you will also need the PIC16F Firmware for the SpeakJet IIC Module!
+  * Check out the audio-examples at the bottom of the [[Midibox SpeakJet]] page!
