You
would probably sell one or two but the fact there there are so many vocoders on
the market, new and old, analog and DSP, means you'd have a lot of competition.
IMO, this market is completely played out.
I
would definitely vote against it, considering the amount of time Paul
would have to spend on developing this. He could probably develop
and manufacture 8 or 10 new modules, soup to nuts, in the
timeframe it would take to get the vocoder into assembly. This is just a guess,
though, I'm sure Paul would have a better perspective. While it's nice to talk
about what is possible, I think Paul is capable of designing a kick-ass version
of anything he wants and clamoring for more stuff just gets in the way of items
already on the drawing board. I'm still waiting on the dual
VCA/pan/fade but it seems to keep getting pushed back due to people making
more noise about other modules. This was supposed to be the next module a year
ago. And whatever happened to the preamp/envelope follower? I think these would
be far more useful than a vocoder, or even another filter for that
matter.
If
anyone is *really* jonesing for a super-high end vocoder, I've got a Sennheiser
I might consider selling for considerably less than
$15K.

-----Original Message-----Well, the Sennheiser goes for ~$15K. Mine would be about $6K. Is that "affordable"??!?
