I'm thinking: * run audio from mic in to Rakarrack's pitch-to-MIDI converter * run the MIDI in to a synth * run the synth audio and the mic audio in to a Rakarrack's vocoder as carrier and formant, respectively Sounds like a hell of a lot of fun to me! I can't wait to try it out :) I don't think there's any point worrying about music production getting "too easy" or "too accessible" -- the ship probably sailed on that when Tascam released the Portastudio, or when Dave Smith and friends created MIDI. People have been making trite music with the best equipment money can by for years, and others have been making interesting music with toys and junk for just as long. If this helps people express musical ideas that they'd been unable to express beforehand, then that's fantastic. THanks Leigh
