[sdiy] SpeakJet chips

[Brice D. Hornback]

In case you've missed this....

Introducing the new SpeakJet chip from Magnevation.  The SpeakJet is a
completely self-contained, single-chip voice and complex sound synthesizer
designed for multiple applications from commercial products to hobby
projects. The SpeakJet uses a mathematical sound algorithm to control an
internal 5 channel sound synthesizer to generate "on- the-fly"
unlimited-vocabulary speech synthesis and complex sound generation. The
SpeakJet is programmed with 72 speech sound elements called allophones, 43
predefined sound effects and 12 DTMF touch Tones. Through the selection of
these sounds and in combination with the control of the Pitch, Rate, Bend
and Volume parameters, the user has the ability to produce unlimited phrases
and sound effect with thousands of variations at any time. The SpeakJet can
be controlled simultaneously by voltage changes on any one of its 8 input
lines and by a single serial output line from a CPU such as the SynthModules
PSIM-1 allowing for both CPU-controlled and stand-alone operations. Other
features include an internal 64 byte input buffer, internal programmable
EEPROM, 3 programmable outputs and direct user access to the internal 5
channel sound synthesizer.
