Unfortunately this one just went on eBay.....it fetched $12,500! But it was an original protype vocoder built (and used) for Kraftwerk in the 70's

Really just a voice synth - it alters the out put of your voice via software or hardware - check out the 70s monster in Hog's post! Kraftwerk and Daft Punk are bands that use them heavily. I don't know much about how it works but like the effects you can create. There are other types of voice altering devices like talkbox - what Bon Jovi uses in living on a prayer. Reacts with the movements of you lips and mouth.

They are also used by shite chart acts, who can't sing worth a fuck, to disguise their appalling lack of ability and older "stars" who's voices are shot (e.g Cher on "Believe")

There is a new girl band out called "Autotuner". Apparently they do all their own post production work.
