I don't know about the JP-8080, still a bit too pricy to my liking. Vocoder is already covered thru Zoom Studio 1204 FX unit. The effects are crap but the vocoder is superb for such a cheap little thing. I really don't like the polyphony issue with the Miceo Modular, so I'm gonna check out the Red Sound Dark Star to see if it can be an alternative at £350.
Thanx for your info.
