hi i was wondering if anyones tried the following synths the dave 
smith poly keyboard, the alesis andromeda the vostok at analogue 
solutions website and the other synths on there as well as the Macbeth 
M5 studio systems synth 

also the doepfer A-100 

which would you say is the best out of them in terms of filters, 
layouts, features, and lfos 

and in general...

could anyone tell me what the a-129 vocoder systems like can you 
control it your voice via midi keyboard? and make your voice hit 
different notes like 

thanks james 

please email me at jimi2times802@hotmail.com

hello james,

these synths you mentioned cannot be compared in a
fair way, they are too different in terms of features.
especially the polyphonic synths cannot be compared
with a modular system. its a bit like you want to
compare a truck with a taxi cab.
let's just say that all of these synths are cool
in their own respect.

a vocoder focusses on timbre and not tuning.
you can make your voice sound like a synth or a robot,
depending on the sound presented to the synthesis
section of the vocoder. to some extend you can also
force your voice to a certain pitch, but this is not
the same as an autotune unit can do, f.e. the antares autotune.

best wishes

ingo

There never is a best, if you try to compare uncomparable synths. Each 
of those, you are mentioning is to completely different type of analogue 
synth. You cannot compare a monophonic M5 with very unique sound with an 
Andromeda. You also wouldn't compare a Ducati motorcycle to Mercedes 
Benz longliner Omnibus in relation of cylinder capacity or cliemte 
features...

A vocoder is the opposite: your voice controls the synth soundwise (this 
is a very limited description, but it fits to your request).

What you are looking for you will find in the Roland VariPhrase products 
or in celemony's Melodyne.
