Hello AHers,
I would like to get some opinions on the best vocoder around. I would use it
to process my synths, mostly some digital stuff. I know very little about
the ones available. I've only read about the new vocoder modules from
Doepfer, and the kit from PAiA. My girlfriend is a mechanical/electrical
engineer, so she'd build the kit for me (nice of her, no?) if I were to get it. 
Do you guys have any suggestions? 
Thanks,
Jose.
