↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:12
Revo Rabbit ! thx for this-dint know the difference btwn Talk Box and Vocodor:'The effect produced by talk boxes and vocoders are often conflated by listeners.[1][2] However, they have radically different mechanisms for achieving the effect. Talk boxes send the carrier signal into the singer's mouth, where it is then modulated by the singer themselves. On the other hand, vocoders process both the carrier and the modulator signal integrally, producing the output as a separate electric signal. "

Sakamoto-san's discography is SO immense so you truly never know what to expect when you listen to an album he's involved with. He's admitted to severely zig-zagging thru his career to keep his fans on their toes.
