Fun with Speak and Spell


Davo

Recommended Posts

I searched for this and found

http://www.speaknspell.co.uk/ (with flash simulator) and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speak_%26_Spell_%28toy%29 and from there on

to the chipCollection http://smithsonianchips.si.edu/texas/t_074.htm

I think I have seen some webpage that midified this thing... now I only have to find it again.. searching... searching... searching... foundit! :)

http://highlyliquid.com/kits/midispeak/

so this is definitely possible, one just has to find out how the sound generator chips work (TMC0281 Speech Synthesizer and a derivative of the TMS1000 microprocessor) and how to communicate with them.

Cheers,

ac

I've seen these MIDI'fied using MIDI to trigger converters. Presumably you could rig up a trigger matrix to trigger the buttons remotely. I guess that's how i'd go about doing it anyway.

I have moded sk 5 with midi,

would be cool to have lcd,that ran with buttons

example , lcd says piano when piano is activatied

or  sampling * * * * *

wihen sampling is activated..

possible..ideas?

No one has done interface with midibox, it is possible but I recommend seeing what highlyliquid has to offer in terms of midi -> SnS

You could use a midibox to send midi to the SnS, and I'm sure you could come up with a super-cool panel layout to control it as well!
