I really like the vocoda.  it's got 'vocoder sequences' which are pretty unique,
and i haven't gotten really heavy into it yet as I got the VOCODA the
otherw eek.

good folks @ red sound.

"When we talk about Darkstar, we mean the Blacet Darkstar not the
Yet-Another-Analog-Modeling-Synth Darkstar."

bah, it's fun and hella powerful for beign on the cheap (i picked mine
up for $170 a few years back), and plus these (albeit minor) mods add
a lot of flavor.  and hell the mods are DIY, right?

altho no, it's definitely no blacet dark star.
