I've been trying to find out what these artist are using to get the sound that they do they sound like very good units any help appreciated.
I've tried the zoom wasn't anywhere close
also tried the Heil talk box no real luck
unless I've been using the wrong patches
what patches should be used I use an Xp50
exspanded.

Troutman used a combo (I've heard) of Vocoder and Talk-box. He used it on his keyboards and on his guitar. He has a DX100 in the 2PAC/Dr.Dre video for "California"......dunno for sure if that's the synth input or not.
Both of these guys also use that cheap "harmonica" patch for solos (especially Blackstreet - "Don't Leave" or whatever it's called). This patch is right off of the DX100 (or the DX7 etc). Maybe that's their "secret" patch for the talk-box input.....dunno.
Riley used the DX100 live with his tube talk-box in some live footage from MTV Spring Break last year, too.

Anyway, just thought I'd post a "review" of sorts on this piece. Not the best solution, but a very affordable one that is better sounding (IMO) than my SE-70 vocoder patch.
