I don't know about the one's everyone else is talking about, but one thing
you could have fun with is their vocoder to use one track to trigger/
percussively open and close a set of filters on another stream of sound 
that
roughly resemble the shape of the sound in those frequencies of the first.
That is my favorite vocoder effect, although you could pull this of with a
ring modulator or by "ducking" with a comperssor/limiter/gate, there's
nothing like vocoding. Think of the phil collins line "well i remembah..."
from "I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord" only with another
track(even something like a high hat part) affecting the synth sound 
instead
of his words.
