Greetings:
I like to use the vocodizer for voicing;
What are the connections and the settings.
thanx all in advance
cheers

As it seems that you're somewhat unsure about how to use the vocodizer, I would suggest that you first familiarise yourself with the Vocoder III device; play about with that until you understand the principles of operation more...they aren't the most intuitive device to get your head around.
The Vocodizer is a pretty complicated beast (and it munches unheard-off amouts of DSP too!) When I first loaded it up, my brain started hurting, so I used Vocoder III instead
Basically, there are no 'settings' as such, it's very much dependant on the application..what you're trying to acheive, which is why familiarisation with the device (through experimentation) is important so your workflow can become more intuitive.

I don't find the vocodiser much more complicated than Vocoder 3 to be honest.
To get you started, plug you mic source into the analysis input, a keyboard into the Midi in, and then just select one of the many presets to get you going. Obviously, you need to be playing the keyboard at the sime time that you sing/talk into the mike (or you could have the midi input from a sequencer, of course). Many of the presets are designed specifically for voice vocoding, so try these, and then start messing around with other settings.
Really, the presets are so good that you should be up and running in no time. The Vocodiser is one of my favourite CW plugs.
cheers,
Ben

well, that's sort of the way vocoders work. You have a carrier signal (voice) and a modulator signal (synth), or the otherway around. Since the approximated EQ of the modulator signal is going to be imposed onto the carrier, obviously you'll need to be playing something to get any sound.
If all you need is a static note, then I guess you can sample that as a loop and use it as the modulator. That way you won't deal with any MIDI and can get instant results.
If you're referring to vocoder with automatic pitch detection, that's a whole different story.
