Hi - I use the metavox in my "modfx-matrix" (http://www.wilbertmusic.de/IMG_6916_r1.JPG). I don't own a synthesizer with a lot of knobs, so I use four modfx-boxes to get a synth-like sound out of my e-piano (and to have the ability to play with a lot of hardware knobs ;-). I like the - it doesn't sound very "warm" but does its job well. It's easy to use but you have to take care of feedback over the microphone if you're playing loud - think that's an issue with all vocoders (but haven't used other vocoders until now - so I can't compare it with others). Most of the time I use my mic to trigger a string sound by doing some "manual drumming" on the mic - sounds nice. As an oscillator is included (saw, rectified saw, square and noise) you don't necessarily need a carrier signal fed into it - just plug your signal source and start playing to get some strange sounds out of the box. I do this quite often and get a nice "pitched-percussion" by drumming on the mic and turning the knobs of the metavox.
