Electronic Music 411 - Kraftwerk prototype vocoder on eBay!!

Crazy.

I know vocoders existed before 70, though (weren't they originally an effort to reduce the bandwidth required to transmit the human voice?). Why is this a prototype?

well, not exactly.
but close.
they weren't real "vocoders" per se.. but they were bandwidth limited filters in the same vein.

Holy shit, that's the holy grail of vocoders!

But I think it'd prolly be a continual pain in the ass. Still, it'd look great beside my Casio VL-1.

That's very very Lovely.

Though calling it Mother sounds like they're claiming its the first, which it isn't. Chicken and egg I guess.
