Elektron Musical Instruments

I would think, if you made it simple enough, you would only need a few
filters if you are taking a speech production route.  Maybe 4 or 5
points for vowel production in the forms of tubes.  Each would be
different sized filters of course.  Then an overall vocal tube size
parameter to determine things like female and male voice.  I would
assume it is more of a vowel producer than something that sings.  Or
else it's a different kind of vocoder.  I wouldn't think it would be a
sampler.  

It would be cool to be able to make those kind of double voiced monk
meditating sounds.
