Wasnt even robotic, just a synth on top of human voice.

They used a talkbox, so technically it's the voice modulating the synth carrier.

Well technically, it's not a voice modulating the synth but rather the shape of your mouth. It's not your voice if you aren't producing your own sound, I'd argue.

Sure, it's not a voice, just the shape of a voice, so to speak.

Anyway my point was that its not a synth on top of a voice, which would indicate an addition of sounds. It works more like a subtractive filter, which again actually works by multiplication. It's physical though, so no math is actually done to carry it out and there's no resolution on the effect, since it was done on analogue equipment.

I know, I just wanted to "technically" your "technically" to be silly :P
