[sdiy] Neat sounds!!!

[Brice D. Hornback]

By default, the SpeakJet is configured for 9600 baud TTL serial
communication.  It requires a computer or microcontroller to communicate
over the serial port.  Sending "weird gates" to the serial pin on the
SpeakJet is a sure way to blow it up.  The SynthModules PSIM-1 is the only
synth module available that is capable of communicating with the SpeakJet
this way.  Besides, the PSIM-1 can also be programmed to be a Quad S&H,
programmable sequencer, LFO, ADSR, CV to MIDI converter, Quad Quantizer, and
much more.  Having the ability to control the SpeakJet chip is just a bonus.
