1. On the left side of the Tone Generation area you will find the Envelope check box This is used to select whether the pure tones are passed through the Envelope Generator or bypass the Envelope Generator The next section below this checkbox you will find the Tools section These tools are for adjusting the Tone Generators The first box is the Harmonize button and numeric box Placing a number hlaska Ved E u j j Erreaiapa T ppa between 1 and 4000 will cause all three Tone Generators frequency to adjust to an octave of the value in the Harmonize or H Frequency box The Tone Generators frequency boxes must contain a none zero value for this to work The Value will adjust up or down from their current values to get the closest value that is a harmonic of the value in the H Frequency box As an example if you set Oscillator 1 frequency to 100Htz Oscillator 2 to 200 and Oscillator 3 to 700 then type 110 in the H Frequency box and press the Harmonize button The software will adjust the frequency value of the three oscillators to 110 220 770 respectively This is also sent to the SpeakJet as soon as the frequencies are calculated The next feature is the Frequency Adjust slider This will move all three frequencies in a scale move based on the Frequency Adjust slider The Z button will zero the adjustment to allow more range for either up or down scaling The Volume Adjust slider works the same as the Freque2. General Description The Phrase A Lator is a demonstration program that allows all of the SpeakJet s features to be utilized and 2xperimented with By demonstrating all of the features the engineer can better understand how to use the eatures needed for a particular project This manual will 2xplain all of the features of the Phrase A Lator This manual will break apart each of the modules that are part of the software package and give demonstrations of each aspect were appropriate Main Menu The main menu screen see Figure 1 will be displayed Jpon executing the program The main menu screen is zomposed of 6 buttons across the top to choose which nodule to load and utilize Across the bottom is a window for setting testing which serial port on your computer will be used to communicate with the SpeakJet A Done button is included to close the program Figure 1 Once the SpeakJet is connected to the PC serial port hrough the appropriate interface circuit select the port number in the Serial Port dialog box and make sure the Use Flow Control box is checked Press the Test Serial Connection button to verify the serial connection The serial port number box will change color to indicate esting and good connection The SpeakJet is now ready oO be used through control of the PC speak y Phrase A Lator Users Guide Version 1 4 March 17 2006 Phrase editor Pressing thi
