[sdiy] Speaking of the Elektor Vocoder (and the Korg Vocoder)

[David Moylan]

What's a phase vocoder?  Isn't a normal vocoder a sort of limited 
resolution FFT, or at least FT in that it translates time domain 
information into frequency domain information in the form of voltage 
levels per frequency band?
