-===== 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)
