0:00 Intro
1:43 Basic Vocoding
3:51 Shenanigans 1: Vocello
5:07 Shenanigans 2: Drum Chord
6:56 Shenanigans 3: Ext Pitch
8:04 Shenanigans 4: MS-01 Footsie
8:52 Outro

Nerdy details as promised:
The VC-10 is a 20 band vocoder with an onboard microphone (modulator) and internal tone generators (carriers)

Controls:
Pitch wheel, tuning and an octave switch
Keyboard to noise balance
External signal (carrier) in with level
Internal and external Mic level (modulator)
Balance of vocoder signal and audio through
External pitch control of the internal tone generators
An LFO (vibrato) with speed and depth
Accent bend (a kind of envelope mod on attack to emulate the human voice changing pitch)
Ensemble Effect (same as the PS-3100)

I also used the MS-01 foot pedal and MS-02 interface from the same range as well as the Roland System 100m and Boss RPS-10 and CE-300 FX."
