Development Kit Hardware
The included USB-to-KX1400 Adapter connects the KX1400 Evaluation Board to a host PC and converts
USB transactions to the KX1400 host-interface protocol. The KX1400 Evaluation Board is populated with
a KX1400 IC, a 16-MByte Flash Memory IC, a 3.5mm headphone jack, two LEDs connected to the
KX1400 general purpose digital outputs, a 20-pin expansion header, reset switch, and a jumper for
Audio Editing Software
The KX1400 Development Kit includes a powerful audio
recording, editing, and preview software package. It records
audio, imports most audio file formats, and provides
advanced audio editing features and special effects. Output
from the audio editor can be imported by the Keterex Macro
Language Processor for inclusion into a KX1400 audio data
file.
KX1400 Audio Generation Software
Software for generating KX1400 audio data files using the Keterex Macro Language (KML) is included.
KML is a full featured scripting language for generating and assembling audio files, sounds, and KX1400
commands into a data file compatible with the KX1400 Audio Playback IC. KML supports importing and
converting WAV and MIDI files, generation of KX1400 control and audio commands (such as volume
control, playing tones, etc), and organizing sequences of audio data and control commands into KX1400
phrases. KML provides support for variables and arrays, parameterized subroutines, flow-control (if,
while, etc), and conditional compilation. These language constructs can be used to implement algorithms
for audio special-effects using sequences of KX1400 audio and control commands.
KX1400 Integrated
Development Environment
The KX1400 IDE integrates the software
tools for developing KX1400 audio files
with an interface for in-system memory
programming and the real-time execution
of KX1400 commands and audio phrases
from a PC-based host, eliminating the
need for a microcontroller and firmware for
initial evaluation and development.
The IDE provides a syntax-aware text
editor for creating and maintaining KML
Macro Language input files, a graphical
