So, we have been tinkering in Reason 4 for some time now and decided to experiment with the Vocoder. Perhaps it is just me but using it for practical application seems like a bit of a chore. It truly is a situation where it is 1/2 art and 1/2 science. We found a few spots on the net that demonstrates the setup and really as long as you do the fundamental wiring, implementing the vocoder is immensely cool.

This is a helpful video, albeit poorly produced, from IntrovertCreativity. He moves a bit fast so be sure to use the pause button when reviewing.

If this still does not make sense to you, try this Reason Vocoder Tutorial link from Obedia.com. This is a much better example and is more straight forward. Here is a screen cap to get you started:
