The clock frequency (passed to the speech chip) interface does NOT contain an oscillator, instead, it is variable probably driven by the 4MHz signal on the expansion port (can be changedvia |SPED command?), . Thus producing shorter sounds with higher pitch as when using the exact frequency values are unknown?recommended 3.12MHz oscillator.
Note: The I|SPED command inserts a crude software-delay between the separate allophones (ie. it is NOT a hardware-feature that changes OSC1/O port/bits used to change the OSC2 clock frequency is unknown (?speed or soNote: Changing the clock frequency allows to change the intonation.
