We need a 20 minute version of this song by Dream Theater.

[Intredasting]

I have one of those sensors. It's called the Roland D-Beam. Guess who's stoked ... this guy.

@pastellycan If all you want is the vocoder I'd look into 3 options: 1 software. You can buy plugins for GarageBand or any recording software that do the exact same effect, plug in a MIDI keyboard and you've got all you need to get the vocal effects. If you want hardware, the 2 best choices I know of are the Korg Kaoss Pad 3 or MicroKorg. Both are $400 and have excellent quality vocoders, the Kaoss Pad is an effects unit only so you need a MIDI keyboard too but the effects are incredible.

@xaeptyy get a Korg Kaoss Pad, it does a ton of effects like that controlled by a touch pad. I use a Kaoss Pad on my keyboard and its amazing!

I'm interested in the VP 550 precisely for the effect demonstrated in this video. I keep hearing that the VP 550 is great for producing background vocals. What if you want your primary vocals to have a sound like this similar to Kraftwerk or Zapp and Roger? Is the VP 550 the right equipment to go with. I would love to hear your feedback!
