Turn your Moog into a vocoder! Patch included!

Well, last night as I was toiling into the wee hours of the night, I sat, gazing upon the loneliness of the Audio input used for open system. What a fantastic feature open system is, but alas, I never really got around to trying it.
But I began thinking, I wondered if a simple dynamic microphone would operate through the open system. I quickly grapped my high impedence cord and plugged it in. I could faintly hear my voice through my headphones. Needless to say, my hopes were shot. Fortunately, I had my original Micromoog user's manual lying right beside me. Flipping to the open system section, I notice it indeed explained how to do exactly what I was attempting. It also went onto explain that preamplification is most likely neccessary for dynamic microphones.
No problem! I used a bass amp for a simple preamp, mainly because I was too lazy to go downstairs and fetch the rack mount. But lo and behold! It worked! I could now filter my voice! This alone sounded fantastic, and made for some really neat vocal fadeouts. I realized that this had serious potential for a cool vocoder effect.
I immidiately looked toward the modulation section. After some experimenting, I finally achieved the ultimate Micro Moog vocoder effect.
Ugh, I'll have to post the patch soon.
