I can't hear it,...

Is it the first Plate Rev erb or something?

wow... it's got such clarity! I'm surprised they got such good results from it. It's like the original for the talker right? with the tube and stuff? Or is this something else.

I really couldn't figure out why Roger Troutman (Zapp) could get such a clear sound from his talker. It's sounds so rich and... GOOD. Anyone know of his little trick?

Of course, a classic for all the pop lockers out there. Bust some moves!

This guy's got some good sound from his talker..

It's the "vocoder".....its ancestor, let's say.

I read something about time ago. I think the two objects he handle should be something like a speaker and a mic. The speaker plays the instruments sound which resonates in his throat accordingly with the speech movements, then the mic pick the resulting sound up.

I had only read about it, but never heard before. I'm impressed too by its effectiveness.



!!!! Ken, the guy in your 2nd link has great skill with that.

ya, the machine itself is called a talker, and the mechanism is simple. I just wonder if there was anything roger did specifically to get his sound.
