Yes, the MIDI Out port allows you to use it as a controller, though the mini-keys might not be everyone's preference for detailed software instrument playing.
The vocoder is relatively straightforward to set up, but achieving professional-sounding results will require some experimentation and understanding of vocal processing principles.
