> A good microphone is good for sure, but more important is the "pre-treatment" of the microphone signal before you send it to the vocoder. Exactly. Kraftwerk used a graphic equalizer (I think it was a 32 band unit) to optimize the voice signal before it was fed into the vocoder.

I don't have Florian's extensive knowledge about so many vocoders but I do think that the A129 would have been pushed into another whole class had the resonance of the filters been adjustable. It would have increased the versatility of the system considerably - for non "vocoder"
