Anything similar to the Casio xw-p1 but with vocoder?

[Zack G.]

Hey guys, so I was pretty intent on buying the new Casio XW-P1, but then decided I would like something with vocoder capabilities. Any suggestions for something with similar features and in the same price range, but with the vocoder? Thanks!

microKorg - but you need micro fingers....

Thanks for the response. That's the issue I have with the microkorg. It's too small, and not enough keys, and just not enough of anything other than vocoder features. I might just try to pick up a used micro along with the xw-p1

The Korg R3 is the Microkorg XL's big brother. It has a metal case and full sized keys.

Personally I sold off a Microkorg XL a couple of months ago and used it to buy the Casio XW-P1. It's a hell of a lot more fun and versatile and a hell of a lot more bang for the buck. Personally I really don't miss the vocorder that much and I may just end up buying a Vocorder module like the EHX V256

or a DIY module like the Paia

or else maybe I'll just use one of the software vocorders out there in a DAW setup.
