Using one MIDISpeak to control multiple Speaks

i was wondering what kit i would need to but in order to control 3 speak & spells together ?
i already have a midispeak for one of them but i just received a speak & math aswell as a speak & read and i would like to have all 3 of them synced.

The MIDISpeak "listens" for certain signals generated by the host Speak for timing purposes when injecting speech commands. There is no way to sync these signals across multiple hosts, therefore, it's not possible to do what you are describing. If the MIDISpeak were connected to multiple machines, only one machine would receive properly timed speech commands--commands sent to the other machines wouldn't work properly.

Hope this was helpful...

Hey John!
OK so even if i had a midi bay or something like this >>>>>

Having them all triggered by one MIDI sequencer would not be possible?

That would absolutely work, but you'd need to have a separate MIDISpeak module installed in each Speak. ;)

My AI only has a single midi output but I use a midi-splitter and assign machines to different midi channels.

I already have a MIDISpeak'd Speak & Spell and my components arrived today to midify my Math and Read machines (stung by Customs tax again btw, John :( ). I'm hoping to have them singing together by the weekend :D
