Are you sure you understood how a vocoder actually works ?? (sorry) You don't control the pitch at the vocoder, but at the synth you use at the "synthesis" input. The internal VCO in a vocoder is just for testing and demo. (many vocoders don't even have one). I don't know of *any* analogue vocoder that has patch memory. So you either get the real thing without memory, or buy a cheap d*g*t*l surrogate. JH.
