Although - it's not a vocoder that he uses...! But you're right, he obviously has a sense of humour about it. @Phil I don't have anything against autotune per se, <em>especially</em> when used as an effect. But for me it gets tedious when it's used as much and as heavily as on the T-Pain album. PS. What's an impossible harmony ? Brian Wilson could sing anything he liked, <em>without</em> autotune :-) @Ian I hadn’t seen that video, good stuff. Although – it’s not a vocoder that he uses…!

Why do you want a keyboard to sound like a synesizer, and not a real piano? Different possibilities, musical styles, etc. I happen to think it's great; just another instrument! Think of the impossible harmonies you can make with this. Brian Wilson could have used auto-tune to write his music “Why do you want singers to sound like robots?”
