Good If You Need It
Vader Porgel 14.10.2019
First think about what you need. I love these melancholic vocals that are just human but also a tiny bit out of this world (alienated). I saw Jan Blomqvist use this on his sets, very subtle and I think it's synced to the midi of the moog also. Its a nice fx and I liked the minor setting but didn't like it enough. It sucks when u overuse it, unless you're looking for that sound. In my case I just need a pretty sweet vocal station that also compresses, EQ and mixes your vocals with a nice harmonizer fx.
This unit didn't cover that (obviously) but just so you know, it's an extra, not a main "vocal station". It processes your vocals a little bit but it's not going to add up to the mix. The midi response was very nice. Also you can set the presets with your octatrack (program change) so track 1 will be preset 1 and track 2 preset 2 and so on... It's very easy to work with, very easy to control and save your own presets. But for my taste a bit limited and like I said more an extra as a complete unit.

Sounds Great!
JopieFixer 10.08.2018
One of the best sounding vocoders I ever heard. Great presets and control. Connect with midi or any audio instrument to use it as the modulator for pitch.

However, this relatively simple device it has a very confusing interface for selecting the sound-presets (the white dial), that stays unintuitive.

Nevertheless a great vocoder, compact, sturdy (all metal casing) and looks and sounds very funky intergalactic planetary.

Looking for a fun vocoder?
Spaceboy 10.08.2015
This is a fun little vocoder that you can fit on to your pedalboard.
You are not only limited to guitar you can use this with a midi keyboard as well (it has midi in connection).

Another good feature is the phantom power switch that also gives you the opportunity to use it with a range different mics.

The build quality is good, only downside are the knobs they are not the sturdiest (plastic) but otherwise it feels like a tank.
