Hi

I'm working on a vocoder instrument. So far it works fine, but I'd like 
to tame the dynamics of the microphone input (I'm simply using ins). i 
tried working with dam by can't really make it do what I want, which is 
a steadier level regardless of how loud I sing.

What would be a good opcode to look at and what would be appropriate 
values for my purpose?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Sounds like you want to a dynamic range compressor/limiter.

I'm sure someone has written a compressor opcode.
