[Rwp] MDA vocoder question

[Patrick Perdue]

If you really have nothing at all to work with, you could also use 
ReaSynth set to emit a saw wave, and Reaper's virtual midi keyboard. 
Send ReaSynth to carrier, and your mic to modulator, making sure not to 
also send the dry of those tracks to master. You can then play around a 
bit using your qwerty keyboard without using a static tone.
