pentagon

Hi Guys... I've been playing around with some free VST vocoder software with not a luck in the resulting quality. I've just found a demo of Cakewalk's Pentagon which has suddenly become available at a "knock-down" price, and says normally it's shipped with Sonar. Before I buy it , can anyone tell me if it will insert as a VST effect in HS6?? Thanks

Yes, it works in SHS6.
According to the blurb:

A Voice Modulator allows you to control Pentagon I sound with your voice or any external audio source. Just turn it on, use Pentagon I as an effect and send MIDI to it (don't worry, you don't need to sing in tune).

However, the documentation doesn't tell you how to turn the modulator on.  It took me a while to find it.
Left click on the Pentagon I label in the GUI, and turn it on from the drop down menu.
Insert pentagon in the FX bin of your audio track, and of course, you will also need a separate MIDI track with the output set to Pentagon.
Prompted by your question, I've been having some fun with it this afternoon.
I have always used it as a straight up synth, and never tried this before. It's a decent synth in its own right, and is a steal at that price.
One caution: Pentagon is capable of extremely loud output, so watch your meters, and be careful if you are using headphones.

Quick update - OK I got it, and played with the synths and I have say, Robert B, I wouldn't have been able to turn on the modulator either without your invaluable instructions!!
