MOTM

I know I am new but a quality vocoder is something I would love to see. I
was reviewing the archived messages and Paul had stated at one time that to
make such a MOTM would be
$600-$800 (I would assume lots of DIY building time as well). This is still
less than the EMS prices. I think this price for the MOTM was for a vocoder
in excess of 11 bands (Maybe 40 band?). New vocoders out there lack sound
quality (not counting EMS). You are then left to buy a Roland VP-330 off
EBAY for $1000 or more (these are the only "common" vocoders I have seen).
Regardless even a "more than 11 band vocoder you get nowadays"  would be
very cool.

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    \ufffd950
the 3000        \ufffd2850
the 5000        \ufffd6500

"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......??????
