MIDISpeak: Speak & Spell MIDI Kit

Not a bad deal for $49. "MIDISpeak Module - Version 2, The Talking Toy MIDI RetrofitAdds a standard MIDI IN port to your Speak & Spell, Speak & Read, or Speak & Math. Non-English versions also supported. Trigger thousands of sounds--words, word fragments, garbled speech, percussion and bizarre sound effects." Link. In MAKE 04 we also show you how to build music toys like this. Modify a Casio keyboard (or other electronic audio stuff) and start playing some of the strangest sounds you've ever heard.
