Vocoder - Does the Access vocoder really really blow or...

[syncerely]

am I missing something?
I've been playing with it and changing many parameters etc etc etc and no matter what I do I can't get a "good" sound out of it.
I went through presets and...
argh...
I guess that little area of this beast won't be getting a lot of action from me unless I learn something useful.
Just sayin'

[evilgus]

I had the same experience, I'd say it blows!
