Vocorder

It's a device that imposes the instantaneus (sp?) "signature" (harmonic content) of a vocal on a synthesizer sound

here's link to a video that maybe explains how it works . . .

X-Man...I like that band you linked. Nice.

Yarbrough And Peoples' had an early '80s hit ("Don't Stop The Music") which emplyed a vocoder.
To refresh your memory, a sample can be heard at Amazon-
