This video captures a 1987 Video Soul interview with Roger Troutman of the Zapp Band.
The discussion focuses on Troutman’s use of synthesizers with a ‘talk box’ or ‘voice box’.
The talk box is an effects pedal that basically plays whatever sound you feed into it through a plastic tube that you put into your mouth. This directs the sound of your instrument into your mouth, so that you can ‘speak’ using the sound of any instrument.
Video Summary:
Roger Troutman (November 29, 1951 — April 25, 1999) was the lead singer of the band Zapp who helped spearhead the Funk movement and heavily influenced West Coast hip hop due to the scene’s heavy sampling of his music over the years. Troutman was well known for his use of the talkbox, a device that is connected to an instrument (frequently a keyboard) to create different vocal effects.
Roger used a custom-made talkbox—the Electro Harmonix “Golden Throat,” as well as a Yamaha DX100 FM synthesizer. As both lead singer of Zapp and in his subsequent solo releases, he scored a bevy of funk and R&B hits throughout the 1980s.

I've seen an earlier post on how to get that Roger Troutman HARMONY sound from the talk box in the studio. It helped me tremendously. I'm talking to everyone who are working studio software with unlimited track choices. Personally I am using Studio One Presonus Artist 2, a Rocktron Banshee talk box and a Yamaha DX-100. For good Roger talk box HARMONY sound try this. Try to find a Yamaha DX-100 keyboard which is difficult or probably easier a Micro Korg. Get the settings from You tube in which there are tutorials for that which will walk you through to get your patch right (sawtooth patch). In the studio, you will need at least 4 vocal tracks for your perfect sound. Use your melody which I choose as the 1 of the chord or the tenor voice on one track. Next, record the 3rd as your alto and pan it to the left in your studio recording on another track. Record the 5th or the soprano and pan it to the right on its own track as well. Last, record an octave above the 1st and leave it centered the same as the melody on its own track. In summary: 1st centered melody (tenor), 3rd (alto) panned to the left, 5th (soprano) panned to the right and another centered track an octave above the 1 or the melody. Equalize them the same. Compress them to your preference. Now all this may vary per application. Hope I've helped some one. Later!
