It seems to me that it wouldn't affect anything, since the vocoder filters
would passing the material in each range that's already there, it wouldn't
be changing the spectra of the vocoded signal at all. BUT, if you put a
delay line before one of the vocoder inputs, it might be an interesting
effect, if the spectra of the loop were changing over time. Hmmm, and I
just sold my vocoder.
