I'm not concerned with price, but with the articulation. I tried a
Boss unit with a vocoder effect and couldn't understand a word. I've
heard vocoders that were very clear. I remember playing an old
Roland vocoder in 1980ish that was a keyboard with just a vocoder
(it still turns up, it has the built in waveforms of voices going
"ah"). It was great but, like an idiot, I didn't buy it.

Hahahaha, yea: piss off! Well, as badly as music store salesmen
treat women (and men too, I hear), I did find one oustanding store
and salesman at Medley Music in Bryn Mawr, near Philadelphia. He was
so knowledgeable and nice and non-sexist I just had to spend several
thousand dollars! Now I live near Washington DC where it's pretty
different.

I don't have an inch of space in my studio for another keyboard but
this is tempting!
Thanks for the info!
