 +====== The SpeakJet Control Application Software v.0.2 ======
  
 +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//​
