If I listen to the album Computerworld from Kraftwerk I have to 
conclude that I like it, so for me it could be interesting.

There are some more details on this link:

So if the hardware from the MonoMachine is the same as the 
MachineDrum it will have memory for samples like the E12 
Machines so it is possible in some way? And you could trigger 
the phonemes on the keyboard or something like that.

Still not interesting and of what else must I think of the 
voice-machine?
