Yes, it is the A129/1 and 2. The carrier source was my Roland JX-3P. I 
spoke in a Sure SM58 through my Yamaha console; and recorded it to an 
Fostex 280 cassette tape (or maybe I already had an ADAT). The playback 
signal was split then into a direct signal and a side chain signal. The 
direct path went in one channel of a Yamaha CL2020 compressor, then in 
the EQ of my mixer, where the higher frequencies were increased, and low 
frequencies dropped. Then from direct out of the desk again in the other 
channel of the compressor. The output of the compressor was fed into an 
ashley noise gate. The side chain signal I mentioned before was fed into 
the sidechain of the noise gate. The output of this signal then was fed 
into the A119.

Then again the signal was split:
One path direct into the modulator input of the A129.
The other path into the A122 Highpass.
The output of the Vocoder and the output of the A122 went into a A138 
Mixer and from there they were recorded to DAT.

The A122 is set at avery high frequency, so that it sounds like a whisper.

A you can see, if I do vocoder sound, then a lot of effort goes into the 
quality of the microphone signal.
