====== 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//
