MOTM

Just a note on the topic if anyone cares.

I have stayed in touch with Robin, and here is the say on the
Vocoders.  As of December of '99:

the 2000    £950
the 3000	£2850
the 5000	£6500

"The 2000 is in stock...there are only 8 units left.  After this I
really don't know whether to do a redesign or just find a new package
for it."

"The 3000 is a bit pricey...just to get a row fo 16 channel
attenuation pots.  It is assembled in Germany...usning the same
eletronics I use in the 2000."

"The 5000 is in there just for dreaming - the last time we made one
of these was in 1982.  We still have the capability to make them but
would need about 50% up front"

SOOOOOOOOO....  vocoder...should I stop looking......??????
