I believe the Moog vocoder had five filters.  I assume when you say 
that CSound has hundreds that you're referring to the number of 
sample bins in pvcross' FFT and reverse transforms.  I'm not sure I 
see why that would make such a difference, other than to make 
CSound's formant shaping more subtle.
