I've been seriously considering getting a vocoder for sometime.I've played with the roland-can't think the name and it was like a dream.I've also heard that the moog was good too,but expensive and hard to find.Any help would
be appreciated.

I think your PC will be fast enough....

Sorry, this is not true.
The MAM Vocoder VF-11 and the Procoder PCP-330 are
exactly the same machines, only the design is slightly
different...look at the backside of the Procoder......
MANUFACTURED BY MAM......

There's also the single rack space vocoder by F.A.T. which may be the same as the German one, but a different company name. They're also available in the U.S. There's been a notice in the back of Keyboard magazine.

How about..you get a plastic tube and attach one end to a horn speaker driver (that you're playing your keyboard through) and stick the other end in your mouth. Then, you can transform the sounds by using the complex acoustic properties of your own mouth. Honestly. Do this near a microphone and your uncle's Robert. This was available years ago as a guitar FX from Electo-Harmonix.

if you go to the turnkey site, there's some demo .WAV files of it playing a vocal, a drum-loop, and a bass (i think)

If you've got money, go for something old.

By the way, the Daft Punk sound was made with a regular vocoder and a resonant-filter. So any vocoder should be able to perform that if used with a filter.
