You should be fine with the voiced/unvoiced and analysis/synthesis modules.
It isn't that the others aren't nice to have, but it won't hurt you not to
have them.

Subject: 1 Is the A-129 vocoder usable with fewer than all six
modules

hello,
I'm thinking about getting the vocoder modules.

A full vocoder is six modules,
A-129/1 + A-129/2 and 3 of A-129/3 slew limiters with A-129/4 slew
controller and A-129/5 voiced/unvoiced detector.

But, it is quite expensive and takes up more than half of a G6...

So, does any other configurations make sense
Can I use the vocoder without the slew limiters
Without the voiced/unvoiced

Does anyone on the list use the vocoder without all six modules
Can you make anything useful out of just the A-129/1 analysis and A-
129/2 synthesis section

My experience with analog vocoders are the Roland SVC-350 and the
Korg VC-10. (besides som virtual analog and software that i usually
find boring).

How would you compare the Doepfer vocoder system to the SVC-350

Thankful for any buying tips from a-129 users!
